The MagneSil system can selectively isolate PCR products that are more than 150-bp long from primers and primer -dimers. The technology can be used with a number of robotic workstations, including Beckman Coulter’s Biomek 2000 and FX Laboratory Automation Workstations. The procedure can also be carried out manually. Typical recovery is more than 80% for a 1-kb product with negligible carryover of primers or nucleotides. - [Read A Magnetic Particle-Based Method for Purifying PCR Products from Solution Protocol]
In this protocol, the DNA-binding capacity of Wizard MagneSil particles is used to capture and release a consistent amount of DNA (100 ng) across a wide range of samples. At the end of the procedure, the DNA is eluted into 100 µl Elution Buffer to give a final concentration of 1 ng/µl, relieving the need for postpurification DNA quantitation. - [Read DNA IQ Isolation of Genomic DNA from Stains and Buccal Swabs Protocol]
