Features & Advantages
Easy to use
Magnetic key and lid enable to easily transfer magnetic beads with attached nucleic acids to the next extraction step.
- No powered equipment needed
- Magnetic keys are reusable
Multi-sample processing
The accessories SmartLid Rack and SmartLid Shaker (included in the Starter Kit) provide simultaneous processing of 12 samples and are optimised for an efficient SmartLid workflow, including mixing and bead collection.
Ultra-fast
From 12 samples to eluted DNA/RNA in less than 10 minutes.
Ultra-Pure & High Yield
Ultra-pure DNA/RNA for sensitive downstream applications in molecular biology.
Exceptional Recovery Rate
SmartLid provides a higher relative percentage recovery compared with Competitor Q.
Various Sample Types &
Consistent high performance
Viral nucleic acids can be extracted from cell-free or nearly cell-free liquid media including VTM, eNAT, PBS, water, saliva, serum, plasma, urine, etc.
Contamination-free Workflow
Alternating high-positive samples and negative control samples were extracted in close proximity in a single batch. The raw RT-qPCR readout shows, that all positive samples amplified while all negative samples did not amplify.

Easy Workflow - Visible Efficiency
SmartLid is based on a novel (patent pending) magnetic key and lid, designed to quickly and easily transfer magnetic beads and attached nucleic acids through a series of three simple sample extraction steps: Lysis, Wash, and Elution.
Using SmartLid is a simple process that requires no electricity, minimal pipetting, and only three simple steps, enabling market leading ease-of-use.
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 the magnetic beads onto the SmartLid.
Transfer: Within seconds the liquid is clear and collection is complete and ready for transfer. Magnetic beads are safely attached to the SmartLid and ready for transfer into the next tube.
