Applied Biosystems™ MagMAX™ CORE Mechanical Lysis Module
Description
The MagMAX™ CORE Mechanical Lysis Module is offered as a supplement to the MagMAX™ CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit to aid in the processing of hard-to-lyse organisms like Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) and bovine tuberculosis in feces, milk, and environmental samples.
For a kit that contains this Mechanical Lysis Module as well as the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit, please see Cat. No. A37487.
Features include:
- Convenience—a complete solution using the same CORE chemistry
- Confidence—higher-quality nucleic acids from difficult-to-lyse samples, including both small (0.3 g) and large (2 to 5 g) volume feces samples
- Flexible—purchase only what you need to lyse MAP and other hard-to-lyse organisms
The MagMAX™ CORE kit and the MagMAX™ Core Mechanical Lysis Module help make your lab more efficient through greater convenience, consistent performance, and time and cost savings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The only difference is that the MagMAX CORE Mechanical Lysis Module & Glass Microbeads Bundle with CORE Chemistry (Cat. No. A37488) contains glass microbeads, whereas the other kit (Cat. No. A37487) does not. The beads are also available as a standalone item (Cat. No. A37489) and aid in the homogenization of completely desiccated fecal or environmental samples. These glass microbeads are added to the desiccated sample together with some deionized water, vortexed, and incubated for about 10 minutes prior to the bead beating step.
The size of the bead tubes that come with these two kits is different, but the bead beating settings are the same. The Mechanical Lysis Module contains a workflow for up to 5 g of feces in addition to the standard 0.3 g protocol.
The MagMAX CORE Mechanical Lysis Module is optimized for isolating nucleic acid from difficult to-lyse targets such as mycobacterium (specifically Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis and tuberculosis), spores, and complex samples used for microbiome testing.
