Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (HMW, Magnetic Beads)

The Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (HMW, Magnetic Beads) provides a reliable and fast process for extracting high molecular weight (HMW) genomic DNA from cells, blood, and tissues using Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) magnetic beads. With our proprietary magnetic beads technology, the kit eliminates the tedious centrifuge steps for columns. The kit provides a reliable and simple approach for high-quality genomic DNA isolation with fast magnetic response time and high binding capacity.

The extracted HMW genomic DNA size ranges are dependent on the beads resuspension: 50-150 kb by tube tapping and 40-100 kb by tube vortexing. Purified DNA is recovered at high yield and high purity without RNA contamination. The typical purity ratios of A260/A280 are around 1.8-2.0, and A260/A230 are around 2.2-2.5. Purified HMW genomic DNA is suitable for applications such as long-read sequencing, linked-read genome assembly, long range PCR, optical mapping, and other general applications.

Cultured Cell samples

Cultured cells are collected and are resuspended in a buffer and then lysed with a lysis buffer, then mixed with beads to bind genomic DNA. The samples are mixed with a buffer and after washing steps, genomic DNA is eluted in the Elution Buffer. The isolated genomic DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contamination such as RNA, proteins, salts, and other impurities.

Blood samples

Whole blood is resuspended in the RBC buffer to remove RBC. The remaining leucocytes are lysed with a lysis buffer, then mixed with beads to bind genomic DNA. The samples are mixed with a buffer and after washing steps, genomic DNA is eluted in Elution Buffer. The isolated genomic DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contamination such as RNA, proteins, salts, and other impurities.

Tissue samples

Tissues are homogenized and lysed, then mixed with beads to bind genomic DNA. The samples are mixed with a buffer and after washing steps, genomic DNA is eluted in Elution Buffer. The isolated genomic DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contamination such as RNA, proteins, salts, and other impurities.

Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Exosome and RNA Isolation Kits constitute all-in-one systems for the purification of exosomes and the sequential isolation of exosomal RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.

Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.

Principle

FFPE samples are incubated in an optimized lysis buffer, which results in the release of RNA and precipitation of DNA. After centrifugation, the RNA-containing supernatant and DNA-containing pellet are then processed separately to purify RNA and DNA. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA/RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA/RNA was eluted by RNase Free Water.

Advantages

• Post digestion sorting – higher DNA and RNA yields
• Economy – the price is much lower than imported reagents

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K and MagBind Particles 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 their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
