sbeadex™ Lightning Cell DNA Kit
Rapid and simple purification of high-quality DNA from cells
The new sbeadex™ Lightning Cell DNA Kit enables high-speed purification using an innovative binding principle that allows simultaneous binding and washing of DNA.
The patent-pending magnetic bead technology purifies high-quality DNA from cells in a simple 4-step process, typically requiring only 11 minutes* from sample to eluate.
With reduced hands-on steps, removing a washing and a drying step, sbeadex™ Lightning is easy for both manual and automated workflows and is compatible with most popular robotic platforms for high-throughput. Fewer protocol steps also significantly reduces liquid and plastic waste for improved sustainability.

How does sbeadex™ Lightning work?
sbeadex™ magnetic beads enable automated high-throughput extraction and purification of high-quality nucleic acids from a variety of cell types.
The superparamagnetic particles, coated with sbeadex™ surface chemistry, employ a novel binding mechanism that ensures effective removal of impurities from the sample matrix. This innovative technology cuts time to only 11 minutes by requiring only a binding buffer, our proprietary sbeadex™ particles, and an elution buffer. The wash step is performed with water, preventing organic/alcoholic traces in the eluate that might inhibit enzymatic downstream applications. This eliminates the need for a drying step before elution, further enhancing DNA quality.
The fast and simple 4-step protocol delivers high-quality, high-yield DNA that easily draws level with other popular purification kits.
