Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) beads are a simple and effective reagent for DNA purification, but not for short oligo purification. The beads are paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that can reversibly bind to nucleic acid. However, SPRI beads can only purify DNA/RNA fragments that are 100 base pairs or longer. DNA/RNA fragments shorter than 100 base pairs are not effectively recovered.

Magnetic Beads (Short Oligo Purification)
Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) beads are a simple and effective reagent for DNA purification, but not for short oligo purification. The beads are paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that can reversibly bind to nucleic acid. However, SPRI beads can only purify DNA/RNA fragments that are 100 base pairs or longer. DNA/RNA fragments shorter than 100 base pairs are not effectively recovered.
Oligo purification can also be performed using spin column-based technology. The oligo size limitation for recovery is around 20 nt, as oligos under 20 nt have a very low recovery rate.
We have developed Magnetic Beads (Short Oligo Purification) Kit for short oligo purification. Our proprietary bead technology enables the recovery of oligos as short as 6 nt. 80% of the 6 nt oligos and 90% of the > 8 nt oligos can be recovered. The reagent also effectively removes impurities and unwanted components such as salts, proteins, dNTPs, detergents, and other contaminants. The magnetic bead reagents are RNase free, and can be used for both DNA and RNA applications.
Recovery rates of of short oligos. Oligos with different sizes were used as input. BioDynami Short Oligo Quantification Kit (Cat. # 40046) was used to quantify the recovery rates with modifications.

The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC virus.
