LGC Biosearch Technologies Sbeadex Lightning

LGC Biosearch Technologies has launched the sbeadex Lightning nucleic acid extraction method, designed to deliver high-purity, high-yield DNA in about five minutes for plant and animal samples. The method's magnetic bead technology significantly reduces the extraction workflow from a five-step process to a simple three-step method of bind, wash, and elute, the company said. With fewer protocol steps and more environmentally friendly chemistry, the method also reduces the environmental footprint of magnetic bead-based DNA purifications, LGC added.
