MagBio Genomics Launches MagCTL Collection Tube
The MagCTL Collection Tube is an innovative sample collection device with FDA 510(K) approval and CE/IVDR certification. It is the first guanidine-free product of its kind, and its proprietary molecular transport medium can stabilize DNA and RNA at ambient temperatures. With direct lysis of collected samples, the nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) are effectively stabilized, making them readily available for capture without an additional lysis step. The tube also eliminates the need for sample processing in a containment, making it easier for laboratory staff to handle samples.
Stability
One of the key features of the MagCTL Collection Tube is its long-term ambient stability. This feature makes it particularly useful in clinical settings where freezer storage space is limited. Samples can be stored at ambient temperature on the bench top for up to 8 days for RNA and 45 days for DNA, which makes the tube ideal for the transportation and storage of bio-samples.
Safety
The MagCTL Collection Tube offers a high level of safety because it contains 1.2 mL of the MagBio CTL™ Medium, which is guanidine-free. This makes it safe for use in clinical settings that require cleaning with bleach on a regular basis. Moreover, direct lysis of the samples also adds to safety because the virus is inactivated, and during sample processing, there is no need for the use of containment.
Versatility
The MagCTL Collection Tube is a versatile device that can be used to collect and analyze viral, bacterial, or fungal samples. It allows end-users to significantly cut down the time needed for downstream processes. Samples collected in the MagXtract Collection Tube skip the lysis process and are directly captured in magnetic beads (MAG-S2), followed by washes and elution in nuclease-free water. The extraction efficiency of the MagCTL Collection Tube is comparable to that of the Thermofisher MVP II Kit where a lysis buffer is used.
The FDA has cleared the MagCTL Collection Tube as a non-hazardous sample collection device that offers direct lysis and can stabilize nucleic acids at ambient temperatures. This makes it a suitable candidate for clinical laboratories performing pathogen detection or sequencing. Additionally, the MagCTL Collection Tube is CE/IVDR Certified.
Overall, the MagCTL Collection Tube is a reliable, safe, and versatile sample collection device that can significantly reduce the time and cost associated with nucleic acid extraction.
