Principle of method
The ExtraStar® Purification Kit 2.0 is based on magnetic bead technology, utilizing silica-coated magnetic particles, which can bind and release nucleic acids under specific conditions.
The purification procedure comprises 3 automated steps on the KingFisherTM Flex Purification System (see Fig.).
1. In the first step nucleic acids are released by chemical and mechanical lysis under chaotropic high salt conditions. The conditions stabilize the nucleic acids in solution and enable their binding to the magnetic silica beads.

2. In the following washing steps different wash buffers are used to remove proteins and other impurities.

3. Finally the nucleic acids are released from the magnetic beads with an elution buffer. The magnetic beads are removed with the magnetic rod.
