The kit uses Eppendorf’s epMotion automated pipetting system and other similar automation platforms and uses bead-based lysis for uniform representation of the nucleic acid population and inhibitor removal technology (IRT) to completely removal PCR inhibitors commonly found in turbid or contaminated water (for example, humic substances, metals and petroleum) to eliminate false negatives in downstream applications such as qPCR).
It also features magnetic beads with a coating that enables the hands-free purification of high yields of pure nucleic acids in a high-throughput format.
The PowerMag Air & Water DNA/RNA Isolation Kit is an extension of MO BIO's PowerWater line of DNA and RNA isolation kits. The kit is compatible with air and water samples collected on a variety of filter membrane types including mixed cellulose ester, polyethersulphone, polycarbonate and nylon.
