Ethanol-Free Purification for High-Quality gDNA Every Time

Quick, easy, phenol-free miRNA isolation from cells and tissues

The Wizard® SV 96 and SV 9600 Plasmid DNA Purification Systems provide a simple and reliable method for the rapid isolation of plasmid DNA using a silica-membrane, 96-well, high-throughput format. A single plate can be processed in 60 minutes or less. The purified plasmid can be used directly for automated fluorescent DNA sequencing as well as for other standard molecular biology techniques, including restriction enzyme digest…

The BRAND Liquid Handling Station (LHS) pipetting robot handles routine tasks at high speed and with the highest precision.

High-Throughput Extraction of DNA from FFPE Samples Robust, precipitation-free protocol, no chance of lost pellets High yields of pure DNA from FFPE samples without using xylene or other hazardous chemicals Ideal for use in downstream applications including qPCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS)

The Wizard MagneSil Tfx™ System provides a simple, rapid method for isolating transfection-quality plasmid DNA in a 96-well, high-throughput format. The use of paramagnetic particles for lysate clearing as well as DNA capture circumvents the need for centrifugation or vacuum manifolds, allowing DNA purification to be completely automated.

The SV 96 Total RNA Isolation System provides a high-throughput technique to prepare intact RNA from tissue and cultured cells. Total RNA can be purified from 96 samples in less than an hour without centrifugation. The system incorporates a DNase treatment step that is designed to substantially reduce genomic DNA contamination, which can interfere with amplification-based methodologies. Purification is achieved without phenol:…

The Wizard ® SV 96 Genomic DNA Purification System provides a high-throughput, membrane-based technique for consistent preparation of genomic DNA from cultured cells and tissue, including mouse tails. Amplifiable genomic DNA can be isolated from up to 5 × 106 cells, 20mg of tissue or up to 1.2cm of a mouse tail tip without a centrifugation clearing step.

Column-based method for rapid concentration and cleanup of DNA.

Column-based method for rapid concentration and cleanup of RNA.

Isolate High-Molecular-Weight DNA for Long-Read-Sequencing applications.

Wizard® Plus Megapreps DNA Purification System provides a simple and rapid method for large-scale purifications of plasmid DNA that eliminates the need for cesium chloride:ethidium bromide gradient centrifugation. Use of this system requires only a centrifuge, a vacuum source and a vacuum manifold. The system yields greater than one milligram of high-copy-number plasmid DNA (200–20,000bp) from a 1,000ml culture in less than th…

The QuEChERS Clean-up step is rapidly completed using the QuICK QuEChERS cartridge. This self-contained cartridge contains 110 mg of anhydrous MgSO4 and 180 mg of PSA. Placed on the end of a disposable syringe, the QuEChERS extract is pushed through directly into a sample vial for analysis. Clean-up is equivalent to dSPE clean-up, but faster and easier, eliminating the need for centrifugation.

Activated carbon cartridge product EU52112M6 with 2 grams carbon/6 mL cartridge has proven to be effective for the extraction of nitrosamines in drinking water Method 521.  EPA Method 522 for 1, 4 dioxane is extracted using one of two options.  EU52112M6 is suitable for Option 1 which uses this product with 2 grams carbon in a 6 mL cartridge.

Pre-packed 6 ml anion exchange SPE cartridges are made to the exact specification of EPA Method 548 to assure high capture efficiency and consistent results for excellent analytical reproducibility.

Airborne laboratory contamination may interfere with solid-phase extraction results. This problem is easily prevented by using the Zero-Blank filter. Using an adaptor (included), this cartridge is fitted on top of the SPE cartridge during the drying step and captures potential contamination making results more accurate.

Clean, activated, and ready-for-use, 30 mesh copper granules remove unwanted elemental sulfur from pesticide and PCB extracts. Granules are much easier to use than copper powder or TBA and eliminate the need for toxic mercury.

Chlorophyll in QuEChERS extracts must be removed to reduce potential instrument downtime. This is removed from extracts using graphitized carbon black (GCB) Unfortunately, GCB also removes planar analytes reducing analytical accuracy. ChloroFiltr®, used in place of GCB in dSPE tubes, removes unwanted chlorophyll without removing pesticides or environmental analytes. No change in procedure are required.
