MagMAX™ Isolation Kits


Magnetic beads offer many benefits for isolating RNA from cells and viral RNA from cell-free samples. The technology at the core of the Ambion® MagMAX™ product line:



  • Binds RNA more efficiently than glass fiber filter methods
  • Results in higher, more consistent RNA yields
  • RNA can be eluted in as little as 20 µL of nuclease-free water
MagMAX nucleic acid isolation kits were developed to extract both genomic and viral nucleic acid from diverse sample matrices to generate:
