High quality life science and diagnostic products
Manufacturer of products for nucleic acid extraction
SARS-CoV-2 | Respiratory diseases | Sexually transmitted diseases
NAxtra™ is a magnetic bead-based technology intended for RNA and DNA extraction from human nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal swab samples, saliva, urine or vaginal swab samples. The product should be used for isolation and purification of bacterial or viral nucleic acids preparing clinical samples for downstream qualitative diagnostics and analysis, such as PCR and next- generation sequencing.
Total nucleic acid extraction from whole blood
The NAxtra™ Blood total nucleic acid extraction kit is a magnetic bead-based technology developed for total nucleic acid extraction from whole blood samples. The protocol is developed for fast and easy isolation of high integrity nucleic acids and the extraction protocol may be run by manual procedures or implemented on any open automation system.
Fast and easy isolation of high-quality DNA and RNA
The NAxtra™ Cells total nucleic acid extraction kit is a reliable solution for researchers looking to extract high-quality RNA and DNA from various cells types including mammalian primary cells, cell lines and bacteria. The kit is based on magnetic beads and provides efficient and easy extraction of high integrity nucleic acids, allowing for accurate and sensitive downstream analyses such as PCR or next-generation sequencing.
