New Magnetic Microparticles for DNA Isolation

AGOWA is well positioned as a supplier of high throughput DNA isolation kits and automated solutions. The company will be extending its portfolio of kits for manual and fully automated isolation of DNA during spring 2007.

The chemical background of this new kits has been developed in house and patented by AGOWA. Compared with existing methods it has some particular advantages for customers.

These advantages are:

• Better yield and quality of DNA constant optimal A260/280 ratio and improved A260/230 ratio
• Very cost effective all buffers are ready to go
• No potential PCR inhibitors in final wash buffers for example organic solvents, salts, polyethyleneglycol
• Compatibility with all known standard lysis buffers, no compromises regarding sample material and lysis time
• High flexibility applicable to different sample materials, whole blood or buffy coat, buccal swabs or cigarette butts, plasmids or plants

Kits available:

• AGOWAsbeadex Plant Kit DNA extraction from plant material
• AGOWAsbeadex Forensic Kit DNA extraction from forensic material
• AGOWAsbeadex Blood Kit DNA extraction from whole blood and buffy coat
• AGOWAsbeadex Tissue Kit DNA extraction from tissue
• AGOWAsbeadex Plasmid Kit Isolation of plasmid DNA for DNA sequen-cing
