DNA Concentrator (Magnetic Beads)

The DNA Concentrator (Magnetic Beads) can be used to efficiently concentrate DNA/RNA from various samples with low concentration without the need of a DNA vacuum concentrator. Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) magnetic beads are well used for DNA and RNA purification and concentration. The beads are paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind to DNA and RNA.

The concentrator protocol is simple: mix Concentrator Buffer and Concentrator Beads with the sample, wash, and elute pure DNA in a small volume to concentrate the DNA samples. Moreover, the DNA/RNA samples are also purified during the procedure. The beads with our unique technology purify DNA/RNA samples effectively by removing unwanted components such as dNTPs, enzymes, detergents, proteins, and other contaminants.

However, traditional magnetic beads can only bind nucleic acids that are 100 bp or longer. Nucleic acids shorter than 100 bp are not effectively recovered. We have successfully developed the kit that overcomes the hurdle of short nucleic acids recovery. The reagent can be used for concentration of samples from genomic DNA to short DNA/RNA.

Recovery rate

• >90% for DNA size >30 bp
• >80% for DNA size between 20-29 bp

Features

• Effective concentrator of DNA and RNA samples, even small DNA, RNA, oligos
• Binding capacity: 10 ug DNA per prep
• Removal of unwanted components and other impurities

Specifications

Principle

The MagSelect method contains magnetic particles in an optimized binding buffer to selectively bind DNA fragments 100bp and larger to paramagnetic beads. Excessprimers, nucleotides, salts, and enzymes can be removed using a simple washing procedure. The result is a more purified PCR product.

Advantages

• High recovery – up to 80%
• High throughput – using magnetic beads purification technology

Kit Contents

Storage and Stability

MagSelect XP should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival and is stable up to 18 months under the condition. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. Shake the reagent well before use. It should appear homogenous and consistent in color.

DO NOT FREEZE.

Introduction

This product provides fast and easy methods for purification of total DNA for reliable PCR and Southern blotting. Total DNA (e.g., genomic, viral, mitochondrial) can be purified from tissue and culture cells.

Details

Specifications

This product is based on silica Column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while proteinis not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins andother impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mmTris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Advantages

• Good repeatability – suitable for extracting high-yield DNA from different types of tissue samples
• High purity – can be used for downstream applications such as multiplex and quantitative PCR
• Fast – simplified process, extracting several samples in 20 minutes (after digestion)
• Safety – no phenol orchloroform extraction, no alcohol precipitation

Storage and Stability

RNase A and Proteinase K should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. The remaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2-8°C, but in this case buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
