The Biocompare Nucleic Acid Purification Search Tool is a searchable catalog of products dedicated to the isolation or extraction of DNA and RNA. Listed by leading life science companies, these kits and reagents enable optimized and efficient purifications of nucleic acid materials necessary for downstream molecular biology applications. These products can help streamline workflows in cloning, PCR, RT-PCR, sequencing, library construction, genotyping, and microbial analysis. Use our database to help simplify product search by entering keywords and selecting filters for citations, reviews, nucleic acid type, source/sample type, purification scale, format, and supplier company.
Magnetic genomic DNA purification kits use iron-based beads or resins coated with compounds that bind DNA chemically by charge, salt, or pH. These particles enable the capture of the total DNA, separating them from the rest of the cell debris and lysate components. Application of an external magnet (magnetic separators) then facilitates the enrichment of the magnetic particle-DNA complexes for purification. Magnetic-based isolation kits, such as those in 96-well microplate formats, are often well-suited for automated workflows.
