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 DNA fragment purification kits typically use iron-based beads or resins that bind DNA through conditions influenced by charge, salt, or pH. These particles enable the capture of the small DNA fragments and PCR products, separating them from the rest of the reaction solution. Application of an external magnet (magnetic separators) allows 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.
