Our Sample Preparation and Purification Solutions
RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Kit
Effectively target dermatophytes in hair, skin, and nail specimens using the RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Kit. This kit is specifically formulated to break down keratin-rich tissues, releasing dermatophytes and other fungi that are otherwise difficult to access. Keratinous samples often make purification challenging, but the RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Kit overcomes this by freeing fungal targets, enhancing both the yield and quality of nucleic acids for downstream purification and analysis.
RIDA®PrepX Stool Kit
The RIDA®PrepX Stool Kit accelerates gastrointestinal testing by removing the need for lengthy extraction steps, delivering reliable PCR results with minimal hands-on time. Its rapid 20-minute protocol requires no prior DNA or RNA purification and is compatible with bacterial, viral and protozoan targets. Designed to integrate smoothly into existing PCR workflows, it streamlines diagnostic testing, improves daily throughput and provides broad applicability across gastrointestinal assays.
RIDA®Xtract 24 Pathogen Kit
The RIDA®Xtract 24 Pathogen Kit enables the extraction of nucleic acids from one to 24 samples in just 55 minutes, offering a flexible workflow that supports both low- and high-throughput testing without slowing turnaround times. All necessary reagents and plasticware are included in a single kit, simplifying setup and inventory management, while separable reagent cassettes allow laboratories to process any number of samples without wasting reagents or consumables, ensuring efficient and cost-effective operation.
RIDA®Xtract 96 DNA/RNA Kit (Coming Soon)
The RIDA®Xtract 96 DNA/RNA Kit is a comprehensive high-throughput extraction solution manufactured at R-Biopharm Australia’s dedicated facilities, ensuring a reliable supply for global laboratories. Built on gold-standard protocols, the kit consistently delivers high-purity RNA or DNA suitable for immediate use in downstream diagnostic workflows. Its streamlined design supports the efficient processing of large sample volumes, reducing hands-on time and improving laboratory throughput while maintaining the accuracy and consistency required for routine molecular testing.
Flexible Extraction Solutions for Sample Preparation and Purification Workflow
Whether preparing challenging tissue specimens, simplifying stool sample processing or performing automated DNA and RNA extraction, R-Biopharm Australia’s sample preparation and purification portfolio provides solutions for every stage of the molecular diagnostic workflow. Products including the RIDA®PrepX Stool Kit, RIDA®Prep Tissue Digestion Kit, RIDA®Xtract 24 and RIDA®Xtract 96 systems are designed to complement one another, enabling laboratories to choose the most appropriate solution based on specimen type, throughput and workflow requirements. Together, they provide a scalable extraction portfolio that supports reliable molecular testing across clinical, veterinary and applied laboratory applications.
