Arcis reagents are an ultra-fast sample preparation system for the preparation of DNA and RNA, with the added benefit of preserving and protecting nucleic acids for up to 90 days (DNA) without temperature control and without any additional processing. The kits have been demonstrated effectively on whole blood, blood plasma, cell cultures, sputum and many other sample types. The nucleic acids are suitable for direct use in PCR, qPCR and RT-qPCR reactions using standard and fast cycling protocols.
The fast and convenient protocol uses a simple 2 step process that enables you to go from sample to amplifiable DNA or RNA in under 3 minutes. It is currently available as easy to use kits which contain a unique formulation developed and patented by Arcis Biotechnology. The kits are available as two bulk tubes (50 reactions) for pre-analytical processing of a variety of samples including whole blood, bacteria and viruses and is designed for standalone kit use or OEM integration with sample preparation or assay development manufacturers.
Arcis Sample Prep Kit is a ready to use kit comprising two reagent tubes enabling flexible processing of a variety of sample types and sample volumes including whole blood, saliva, bacteria, plant or animal cells. The fast and convenient Arcis DNA Sample Prep kit allows you to go from cells to downstream nucleic acid investigations without the need for isolation or purification.
The Arcis Blood Kit is a ready to use kit comprising two pre-filled reagent tubes enabling extraction of nucleic acids from blood samples prior to a flexible range of downstream assays. The product is intended to be used by trained users proficient in molecular biological techniques.
The Arcis Pathogen Kit is a ready to use kit comprising two pre-filled reagent tubes enabling the extraction of nucleic acids from a variety of biological samples. The product is intended to be used by trained users proficient in molecular biological techniques.
