The series of DNA Size Selection Kits (Magnetic Beads) were developed for DNA size selection using magnetic beads. A total of 11 kits are available, with different selection ranges spanning from 50 bp to over 10 kb. The kits provide a simple and quick approach for the enrichment of a specific range of DNA fragments. The kit workflow allows double-sided or single-sided size selection for specific size cutoffs.

DNA size selection is a selective capture of DNA fragments of a specific range of size for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparations, PCR, ChIP assay, DNA ligations, endonuclease digestions, adapter removal, and other genomics and molecular biology applications. DNA size selection is preferred after NGS library prep in most of the cases. The NGS library preparation is related to the quality of the sequencing data. Precise NGS library size selection can increase sequencing efficiency, improve data quality, and reduce costs.

There are two types of sequencing technologies: short-read sequencing and long-read sequencing. Short-read sequencing uses DNA libraries that contain small insert DNA fragments of similar sizes, usually several hundred base pairs. The sequencing efficiency can be improved if the DNA size selection is in the right range. Cat.# 20104S and 20104L are the best kits for NGS library size selection of illumina paired-end 100 (PE100) sequencing with 100-200 bp library inserts; Cat.# 20105S and 20105L are the best kits for NGS library size selection of illumina paired-end 150 (PE150) sequencing with 150-300 bp library inserts; and Cat.# 20106S and 20106L are the best kits for NGS library size selection of illumina paired-end 300 (PE300) sequencing with 300-600 bp library inserts.

Long-read sequencing uses a large DNA fragment as input and makes very long reads. Usually, library size selection is preferred to remove smaller fragments. Cat.# 20110S and 20110L are the best kits for long-read sequencing size selection with DNA sizes >5 kb, and Cat.# 20111S and 20111L are the best kits for long-read sequencing size selection with DNA sizes >10 kb.

The magnetic beads technology uses paramagnetic particles, also known as SPRI (Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization) beads, to bind DNA reversibly and selectively. DNA fragments can be size-selected and purified by changing the properties of the magnetic beads or SPRI beads. The magnetic beads can easily separate the beads-binding DNA from the contaminants and unwanted components in the samples. The samples after DNA size selection are free of contaminants such as buffer components, enzymes, proteins, salts, dNTPs, primers, and adapters. Our proprietary magnetic beads reagents improve yield, selectivity, and reproducibility.

Specific DNA fragments at a certain length range can be purified simply using magnetic separation with different beads components, avoiding tedious and time-consuming gel extraction and column-based purification. The magnetic beads method is popular for common DNA size selection, including library size selection. The first beads-binding step, referred to as the right-side clean-up, removes large DNA fragments. The large DNA fragments are bound to the beads and are discarded. The desired DNA fragments in the supernatant are transferred to a new well, and new beads are added to the supernatant for the second beads-binding, referred to as the left-side clean-up. The double-size selected DNA fragments are eluted after ethanol rinsing.

.

A single clean-up is needed for DNA size selection with large fragments. In this case, only the large DNA fragments are bound to the beads. The selected larger DNA fragments are eluted after ethanol rinsing.

Introduction

This kit provides a simple and fast solution for the extraction of circulating nuclear acid from serum, plasma, and other cell-free liquid samples. Circulating nucleic acid refers to the free extracellular nucleic acid produced by cell apoptosis, of which fragments are generally below 1KB. The kit is based on silica gel column purification technology, which is no need for toxic phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation during the extraction. The obtained Circulating Nucleic Acid can be directly used for quantitative PCR, liquid or solid phase chip analysis, hybridization, and SNP detection.
HiPure Circulating DNA/RNA Kit adopts a unique solution system and multiple layers of filter membranes with different pore sizes, which can efficiently process large volumes of serum and plasma samples and capture extremely small amounts of free nucleic acids.

Principle

This kit is based on silica gel column technology. Serum or other liquid samples are lysed and digested in buffer CFL. After adding buffer CFP, the protein is removed by centrifugation to obtain the supernatant. Isopropanol is added to precipitate the total nucleic acid and transferred to the column for filtration. DNA / RNA is adsorbed on the membrane of the column, while the protein is not adsorbed and removed with the filtrate.The column is washed with buffer MGW1 to remove protein and other impurities, and then washed with buffer RW2 to remove salt. Finally, DNA / RNA is eluted by low salt buffer. The eluted DNA / RNA can be directly used for quantitative PCR/ RT-PCR, liquid or solid-phase chip analysis, hybridization and SNP detection.

Advantages

• High yield – most optimized process to obtain maximum free RNA and small RNA
• High concentration – low elution volume (>20μl) to ensure nucleic acid concentration
• High purity – low alcohol combination, completely remove inhibitor and protein pollution
• High recovery – silica gel column technology can recover nucleic acid molecules at the level of PG
• Large volume – 1-2ml serum and plasma samples can be processed at one time
