The New MagNA Pure 96 DNA and Viral NA Kits:Maximal Speed Combined with High Recovery

摘要

The MagNA Pure 96 System is a brand-new system recently introduced to the market: it is a fully automated,ultra-fast system for high-throughput isolation of highquality nucleic acids from various sample types that can handle sample volumes of up to 1 ml. The main features of the new system were described in the preceding Biochemica issue (4/2009). This system uses optimized kits with prefilled, ready-to-use reagents in combination with the appropriate automated isolation protocols. The configuration of the kits is based on the well-established magnetic bead technology that has been used successfully on different MagNA Pure Systems for many years now. The MagNA Pure 96 Kits are composed of reagent trays with different prefilled, sealed containers for the buffers and special bottles containing the magnetic particles.All kits are available as small-volume (SV) and largevolume (LV) variants, depending on the sample amount to be processed. This article describes the features and the performance of the two MagNA Pure 96 DNA and Viral NA Kits and Protocols.
