mag Nucleic Acid Purification Kits

mag™ Nucleic Acid Purification Kits were originally developed as a high-throughput, efficient and cost-effective DNA isolation method. The technology is suitable for the extraction of highly pure nucleic acids from a wide range of sample types for downstream applications including PCR, restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing/NGS.

The protocol follows the common technology of binding the nucleic acid to the magnetic beads, removing contaminants using salt and alcohol-based wash buffers and a final elution step.

Sample types include:

• Blood samples 
• Cell material
  • Saliva
  • Mucous membrane
  • Hair
  • Amniotic and cerebrospinal fluid
  • Cell and plant tissue
  • Microorganisms

Applications

• DNA and RNA purification for many downstream applications such as PCR/qPCR, RT-PCR or NGS
• Range of kits available that are applicable to a wide range of sample types:
  • mag mini, midi and maxi: EDTA blood, heparin blood, citrate blood, buffy coats
  • mag maxi PLUS and PLUS XL: EDTA blood, heparin blood, citrate blood, buffy coats
  • mag plant: Various tissues (including leaf, seed and root) from a variety of plant species
  • mag forensic: Broad range of forensic samples, including swabs, dried blood spots and hair roots
  • mag nanogram: buccal swabs.

Key benefits

• High-throughput and cost-effective isolation of highly pure nucleic acids suitable for many downstream applications
• Easily scalable for larger volumes or multi-well formats
• Fast, convenient and reproducible protocols compatible with most popular robotic platforms (e.g. KingFisher, Hamilton, Tecan, Beckman-Coulter)
• Conventional magnetic bead technology is easily adaptable to pre-existing workflows/protocols
• Ready-to-use kits with high stability
• Highly flexible batch sizes and tailored protocols (e.g. modified lysis or elution steps) for your specific requirements
• Customised and bulk sized kits available, depending upon user requirements
