MagnaMedics Diagnostics B.V. (MMD) has tested its MagSi-DNA silica beads in a compatibility study using the buffers of Roche LC Nucleic Acid Isolation kits. Background of this study is the fact that clients have adopted diagnostic protocols which resulted in left over Roche buffers from these kits that. This created the opportunity for MagnaMedics Diagnostics and its partners (here: Academic Hospital Maastricht (AZM)) to investigate efficient integration of MagSi-DNA particles with these (left over) buffers.

Outcome of our study is that MagnaMedics MagSi-DNA beads are fully compatible with the original Roche beads and use of the MagSi-DNA beads with the leftover buffers will lead to significant cost savings for diagnostic clients.
