Ferrobead® Applications
A universal solution for sample preparation and purification
For Research Use Only (RUO)
Once nucleic acids are extracted, Ferrobeads are optimized for use in the following downstream
Downstream Molecular Analysis
The extracted DNA/RNA is specifically optimized for sensitive molecular techniques, including:
qPCR (Quantitative PCR)
Used for gene expression analysis and viral/bacterial pathogen detection.
Digital PCR (dPCR)
For high‑precision and ultra‑sensitive nucleic acid analysis.
Sequencing
Delivering high quality DNA/RNA sample for downstream sequencing applications.
PCR Cleanup
Purifying DNA after amplification.
Key Industry & Research Fields
Ferrobeads® have a board use for a variety of applications such as:
Infectious Disease Diagnostics
Supports diagnostics across a variety of applications, including gastrointestinal, respiratory, and STI testing.
Oncology & Liquid Biopsy
For plasma/serum samples for cancer monitoring.
Forensics & Human ID
Extracting DNA for identification purposes
Agricultural Biotechnology
Extracting nucleic acids from plant tissues
Food Safety & Environmental Testing
Analyzing environmental samples for contaminants or pathogens.
Sample Compatibility
A major application advantage is the ability to process a wide variety of “dirty” or complex sample types with a single kit, including:
Samples: Blood, tissue (plant & animal), cells, and plasma.
Research Samples: Cultured cells.
Solid Tissues: Animal tissue and plant tissue.
Streamline your workflows with a high-performance, universal extraction core
Reproducible research demands simplicity (not more variables). Ferrobeads streamline lab logistics with a single, high-binding silica-coated magnetic bead solution engineered to perform across plasma/serum, tissue, cells, and bacteria. An open-platform chemistry approach lets your department standardize on one trusted product, reducing inventory complexity and improving cost efficiency at the reaction level.
Built for Validation-Driven Procurement: Your data should lead the way. Ferrobeads deliver the magnetic chemistry performance needed for high-yield nucleic acid isolation, integrating seamlessly with your existing protocols so your assays achieve the precision and consistency your research requires — without starting from scratch.
