The Maxwell® RSC Pathogen Total Nucleic Acid Kit is used with the Maxwell® Instruments to provide an easy method for efficient, automated sample preparation and purification of pathogen total nucleic acid. Maxwell® RSC Instruments are designed for use with predispensed reagent cartridges and preprogrammed purification procedures, maximizing simplicity and convenience. The Maxwell® RSC Pathogen Total Nucleic Acid Kit was designed to perform automated extraction of bacterial, viral and parasite total nucleic acid from human biological samples, including stool, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, urine, plasma, nasopharyngeal swabs and cervical swabs in transport medium. The Maxwell® Instrument method for the Maxwell® RSC Pathogen Total Nucleic Acid Kit can process from one to the maximum number of Maxwell® Instrument samples in approximately 40 minutes. The low 100μl elution volume results in concentrated purified nucleic acid for downstream applications, such as quantitative PCR (qPCR) or quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). After a brief preprocessing lysis step, the sample is added to the Maxwell® RSC Pathogen Total Nucleic Acid Cartridge. The remaining processing is fully automated.
