LyoBeads are ready-to-use, freeze-dried master mixes in shape of a small ball or spheres.
Standard LyoBeads contain DNA polymerase(s), reaction buffer and dNTPs. LyoBeads can also contain Primer & Probes when produced customized. They are rehydrated within seconds in any aqueous solutions, which makes reaction setup very simple. Only a biological sample has to be added.

LyoBeads are ready-to-use, freeze-dried master mixes in shape of a small ball or spheres.
Standard LyoBeads contain DNA polymerase(s), reaction buffer and dNTPs. LyoBeads can also contain Primer & Probes when produced customized. They are rehydrated within seconds in any aqueous solutions, which makes reaction setup very simple. Only a biological sample has to be added.
Storage: LyoBeads are shipped and stored simply at room-temperature. This provides a more cost efficient and ecological distribution compared to other master mixes.
LyoBeads can be pre-dispensed in PCR-strips, PCR-plates, cartridges etc.
All necessary components for PCR are already included in one LyoBead: an engineered DNA polymerase, an optimized reaction buffer and ultrapure dNTPs. Only primers and probes need to be added. A hot-start formulation of the included DNA polymerase prevents false amplification during the reaction set-up.

Library size selection is an enrichment of a specific range of library sizes for NGS library preparations. 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, or SPRI (Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization) beads, is well used for the purification of DNA due to their reversible DNA binding. The NGS library can be size-selected by the magnetic beads or SPRI beads. The properties of the magnetic beads can be changed for a specific range of DNA binding. The contaminants and other unwanted components in the libraries can also be removed during size selection.
Specific ranges of NGS libraries can be selected using magnetic beads with different buffer compositions. The first DNA-beads binding step, also called the right-side clean-up, removes large NGS library fragments. The large NGS library fragments that bind to the beads are discarded with the beads pellet. The desired NGS library fragments in the supernatant are transferred to a new well, and new beads are added to the supernatant for the second beads-DNA binding, also called the left-side clean-up. After the rinsing step, the NGS library fragments with the dual selection are eluted in water or an appropriate buffer. The magnetic beads method has great advantages over time-consuming column purification and tedious gel-based purification.
NGS library size selection with dual clean-ups.
.
Library size selection for long-read sequencing only requires a single clean-up. In this case, only the large library fragments are bound to the beads, while other small library fragments are discarded with the supernatant. The selected larger library fragments are eluted in water or an appropriate buffer after the rinsing step.
NGS library size selection with single clean-up for >5 kb and >10 kb libraries.
Lyophilized format designed for room temperature shipping
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Norgen’s Candida albicans TaqMan PCR Lyophilized Kit is designed for the detection of Candida albicans specific DNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan® technology. The lyophilized format is designed to ship the kit at ambient temperature.
Norgen’s Candida albicans TaqMan Lyophilized Probe/Primer and Control Set is designed for the detection of Candida albicans specific DNA in a real-time PCR based on the use of TaqMan® technology. The lyophilized format is designed to ship the kit at ambient temperature.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
Once reconstituted, repeated thawing and freezing (>2 times) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
Each kit is provided with 4 tubes of 2X PCR Master Mix and each tube is enough to run 25 reactions. It is not necessary to reconstitute all Master Mix tubes at once. The Master Mix tubes can be reconstituted as and when needed.
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
