Pathogen Detection
Viral, Bacterial, Fungal and Parasite DNA
Sample type...
Respiratory swabs
Viral infections can be analyzed by taking oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal swab samples.
Saliva
Saliva collected by spitting in a tube is a non-invasive method of sample-collection
Serum, plasma or whole blood
Pathogenic DNA can be isolated from human plasma, serum or whole blood samples.
Tissue
Tissue biopsies are sometimes necessary to detect pathogenic ailments
Urine
Urinary tract infections can be very well detected by testing collected urine.
Faeces
Collected fecal matter can give a good insight in gut pathogenic diseases

MagSi-DX Pathogen is intended to be used for the isolation and purification of viral RNA for subsequent in-vitro diagnostic purposes. The kit can be used with human respiratory swabs and saliva. The kit is designed to be used with any downstream application with amplification and detection of viral RNA (in particular RT-qPCR, sequencing). The kit has been specifically validated for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic workflows.
The MagSi-NA Pathogens kit allows cost-effective extraction of DNA and RNA from a variety of sample materials like whole blood, serum, plasma, oropharyngeal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, urine or feaces.
While saving money on extractions and PCR reactions, classic sample pooling will still dilute your samples and therefore cause less sensitive and false negative results. Our solution, MagSi-NA Pathogens Magnetic Sample Pooling (MSP) does not only save reagents, but maintains your test sensitivity as it pools in a sequential and non-dilutive manner.
