Quick-DNA/RNA™ MagBead (4 x 96 preps)

The Quick-DNA/RNA MagBead kit provides a high-throughput, magnetic bead-based purification of both high-quality DNA and total RNA (including small/microRNAs) from the same starting sample. The provided DNA/RNA Shield inactivates infectious agents and is ideal for sample storage at ambient temperatures. The extraction method has the option to recover total nucleic acids in one elution or DNA & RNA in separate elutions without the use of phenol. DNA/RNA is eluted into ≥50 µl of DNase/RNase-Free Water and is ready for any downstream application including Next-Gen Sequencing, RT/PCR, hybridization, etc.

Binding Capacity	15 µg DNA/RNA per 30 µl MagBinding Beads.
Equipment Needed	Magnetic stand or separator, heat block, liquid handler or robotic sample processer (user provided).
Purity	High-quality DNA/RNA is ready for Next-Gen Sequencing, RT/PCR, hybridization, etc.
Recommended Materials	(sold separately) – 96-well Collection Plate (C2002; capacity is up to 1.2 ml/well), 96-Well Block (P1001; capacity is up to 2 ml/well), 96-well Elution Plate (C2003), Cover Foil (C2007), ZR-96 MagStand (P1005), DNase/RNase-Free Tubes (1.5 ml;C2001).
Sample Preservation	DNA/RNA Shield lyses cells, inactivates nucleases and infectious agents and is ideal for safe sample storage and transport at ambient temperatures (page 7).
Sample Sources	Any cells, solid tissue, whole blood, biological fluids, FFPE tissue, environmental (plant/seed), swabs (stool, soil, microbial samples), samples stored in DNA/RNA Shield, etc.
Size Limits	Genomic DNA up to and above 40 kb. Mitochondrial and viral DNA (if present) will also be recovered. Total RNA including small/microRNAs ≥17 nt.
Storage	DNA and RNA eluted with DNase/RNase-Free Water (provided) can be stored frozen. The addition of RNase inhibitors is highly recommended for prolonged storage.
