foodproof® Magnetic Preparation Kit IV
The Magnetic Preparation Kit IV is designed for automated DNA extraction of Gram-negative bacteria from enriched food samples (e.g. Salmonella, Enterobacteriaceae and Cronobacter) using magnetic beads.
Principle
- Cells are lysed by incubation in the foodproof Magnetic Preparation Kit IV Lysis Buffer.
- Extracted DNA is bound to the magnetic beads, and purified with the foodproof Magnetic Preparation Kit IV Wash Buffers to remove proteins and other cellular contaminants.
- Purified DNA is eluted with the foodproof Magnetic Preparation Kit IV Elution Buffer from the magnetic beads and is ready to use.
Features
- Innovative magnetic bead technology for the isolation of highly purified DNA.
- Optimized and validated for a wide range of food matrices, especially powdered infant formula (PIF) with and without probiotics and environmental samples.
- Suitable for PIF-testing in combination with the foodproof Enterobacteriaceae plus Cronobacter Detection Kit and Reagent D.
- MicroVal validation in combination with the foodproof Enterobacteriaceae plus Cronobacter Detection Kit and Reagent D and a robot from the foodproof RoboPrep Series.
