You offer the MagMAX CORE Mechanical Lysis Module & Glass Microbeads Bundle with CORE Chemistry and the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit + Mechanical Lysis Module. What is the difference between these kits and which kit should I order?

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.

What is the difference between the bead beating step of the MagMAX Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Cat. No. AM1840) and the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit + Mechanical Lysis Module (Cat. No. A37487)?

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.

What type of bacteria should I use the MagMAX CORE Mechanical Lysis Module (Cat. No. A32836) for?

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.
