VIRAL RNA EXTRACTION FOR COVID-19

Ensuring Sample Preparation Excellence

From nucleic acid integrity and purification to genomic insights

Preserve sample integrity from the start- Our 510(k) cleared,
Guanidine free stabilization reagent technologies ensure nucleic acid integrity for reliable downstream results.

High-yield, high-purity DNA/RNA with ease. Our magnetic
bead-based reagent solutions provide superior recovery and quality for downstream success.

Better Sample, Better Data!
High-quality sample preparation reagents are essential for accurate sequencing. MagBio’s long-read sequencing (patent pending) and short-read sample preparation reagents reduce sequencing errors and bias, leading to reliable data.

Our paramagnetic bead-based sample preparation technologies support molecular diagnostics, pathogen surveillance, and infectious disease research by delivering consistent nucleic acid recovery, workflow compatibility, and scalable supply for reliable, high-performance detection workflows.
