SmartLid™
Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit
A novel magnetic key and lid, designed to quickly and easily transfer magnetic beads and attached nucleic acids through a series of three sample extraction steps: Lysis, Wash, and Elution
Product Information
Using SmartLid™ from ProtonDx is an easy, simple process that requires no electricity, minimal pipetting, and only three simple steps, enabling market leading ease-of-use.
Multiple samples can be processed using the SmartLid Rack and Shaker accessories. The Rack and Shaker are optimised for an efficient workflow, including mixing and bead collection.
With SmartLid, a single user can easily process up to 12 samples in under 10 minutes.

Features
High Yield:
Ultra-pure DNA/RNA for sensitive downstream applications in molecular biology
Rapid:
From sample to eluted DNA/RNA in less than 10 minutes
Easy to use:
Simple process does not require any powered equipment
Environment:
Designed to minimise plastic waste
Carton and paper inserts made with recycled content and are fully recyclable
Magnetic keys are reusable, reducing rare-earth waste
Visible Efficiency
The visible speed and efficiency of SmartLid is due to market leading superparamagnetic beads, delivering ultra-fast extractions.
Capture:
Magnetic beads capture DNA/RNA for transfer between tubes.
Collect:
Inverting the tube with the Magnetic Key collects beads onto the SmartLid.
Transfer:
Within seconds the liquid is clear and collection is complete and ready for transfer.
