Introduction

The RNA Clean Beads use paramagnetic bead technology for high-throughput purification of RNA or cDNA from in vitro applications such as transcription, antisense RNA (aRNA) amplification and RNA and cDNA probe synthesis. The resulting purified product can be used in the following applications: PCR and RT-PCR, probes for microarray or macroarray, RNase protection assays, transfection for RNAi experiments and cDNA synthesis and labeling.

Principle

RNA Clean utilizes an optimized buffer to selectively bind RNA or cDNA to paramagnetic beads. Excess oligonucleotides, nucleotides, salts, and enzymes can be removed using a simple washing procedure.

Advantages

• High recovery – recovery of RNA up to 90%
• High throughput – using magnetic beads purification technology
• Simple – simplified operation process, combination – washing – elution

Storage and Stability

Store at 4℃ upon arrival, for up to 12 months. For best results shake the reagent well until all of the beads are completely in suspension and aliquot RNAClean Beads into RNase free containers. Do not pour remaining reagent back into the storage container. Mix RNAClean Beads well before use. The reagent should appear homogenous and consistent in color.

DO NOT FREEZE.

Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V2-V3 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.

The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V2-V3 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.
