Description

MagExtractor-PCR & Gel Clean Up is a magnetic silica bead-based kit for rapid, simple and reliable purification of DNA fragments from PCR reactions and gel extractions. Requiring a suitable magnetic separation stand like Magical Trapper (TYB-MGS-101), it exploits the property of silica surfaces to bind DNA in the presence of chaotropic agents (reference 1). Purified DNA can be used directly in a multitude of downstream applications.

Applications

  • PCR fragment isolation
  • DNA isolation from agarose gel blocks
  • Desalination
  • dNTP removal
  • Primer removal
  • Enzyme removal

Purified DNA can be used directly in:

  • PCR reactions
  • Sequencing reactions
  • Labeling reactions
  • Ligation reactions
  • Enzymatic reactions
  • Genetic transformation
  • Hybridization

Features

  • Recoverable DNA fragment size ranges from ~100 to 50,000bp. Fragments <40bp are mostly excluded.
  • Maximum binding capacity is ~5ug DNA/30ul beads. However, we recommend using 2.5ug/30ul beads as a practical guideline.
  • DNA purification is possible directly from various reaction solutions including but not limited to those for PCR, alkaline phosphatase and other enzymes.
  • Recovery yield for ~100bp-50kbp-sized DNA fragments from ~100ul of reaction solution is 60-70%.
  • Processing time for DNA fragment recovery is ~5 minutes from DNA solutions and <15 minutes from agarose gel blocks.
  • Because agarose gel slices dissolve in the Binding Solution at room temperature, heat blocks are not required.

Kit contents (sufficient for 200 purifications)

  • Binding Solution         88 ml (store at RT shielded from light)
  • Magnetic Beads          8.5 ml (store at RT)
  • Washing Solution       132 ml (store at RT)

Note: Exposure of the Binding or Washing solutions to low temperature may result in crystal precipitation. In this case, before use dissolve crystals by manual gentle end-over-end mixing. Also, as Binding and Washing solutions contain protein denaturant, exercise caution when handling and immediately rinse and clean off any solution that may get on the body.
