Biomeme’s pre-aliquoted and field-friendly M1 Sample Prep Cartridge Kits (RUO) enable you to extract purified nucleic acids from a variety of target types (e.g., viruses, gram neg/pos bacteria, archaea, spores, algae) and sample matrices (e.g., arthropods, tissue, plant material, swabs, filters, whole blood, transport media, homogenates, environmental water, urine, etc.) in minutes. RUO Cartridge types include DNA-HI (High-Concentration) and RNA/DNA.
-
RNA/DNA: for smaller volume liquids (e.g. whole blood) and direct swabs (works with both RNA and DNA)
-
DNA-HI: for larger volume liquids such as urine, transport media, environmental water, and homogenates
Each single-use cartridge includes a syringe and binding column tip. There’s no lab equipment, refrigeration, electricity, incubation, alcohol precipitation, or phenol chloroform extraction required. Instead, the cartridges utilize a filtration-based method in which nucleic acids selectively bind to the silica membrane inside our proprietary sample prep columns. Subsequent washes through a sequence of formulated buffers yields purified nucleic acids upon elution.
Each order includes the following:
