Product and Applications |
| Magnetic Bead DNA/RNA Purification Kits |
| |
The MagBead Kits are designed specifically for isolating Nucleic Acids from a variety of sampe types. The unique buffer system and chaotropic salts are used to lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing for the Nucleic Acid to be easily bound by the surface of the magnetic particles. Unwanted Nucleic Acids and other non-specific binding particles are removed with a Wash Buffer, and the desired Nucleic Acid is then released into the release buffer. Manual sample processing can be completed within 45 minutes (using most magnetic separators) or the kits can be easily adapted to satisfy most automated Nucleic Acid purification systems |

Plasmid/Cosmid Purification Kits
|
| |
The Plasmid DNA Purifcation kits use a modified Alkaline Lysis method and RNase treatment to obtain clear cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA/RNA contaminants. In the presence of chaotropic salt, plasmid DNA in the lysate binds to the glass fibre matrix used. Contaminants are removed with a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer or TE. In the case of the Plasmid Midi and Maxi and corresponding Endotoxin Free kits, the Plasmid DNA is bound to an anion exchange resin instead of a glass fibre matrix. Using an efficient gravity-flow procedure, plasmid DNA in the crude lysate is bound to the anion exchange resin in the column and the contaminants are removed with the PW Buffer. The purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a high salt buffer and then precipitated with Isopropanol for desalting. |
