Buffer Exchange for Nucleic Acid Samples

Buffer exchange is an essential step in nucleic acid sample preparation, ensuring compatibility with downstream applications such as PCR, sequencing, cloning, and other molecular biology workflows. This process removes salts, detergents, and other impurities while transferring nucleic acids into the optimal buffer for the next step, improving performance and reliability.

Microzone offers a versatile range of solutions for nucleic acid buffer exchange tailored to different sample types and workflow requirements, including microCLEAN, microCLEAN XL, macroCLEAN, and MAGneat PCR Beads.

microCLEAN and microCLEAN XL

microCLEAN is a rapid, efficient solution designed specifically for PCR products, providing clean-up and buffer exchange in a single-tube workflow. microCLEAN XL extends these capabilities to larger PCR amplicons, ensuring high yields and purity. Both products utilize a precipitation-based approach, combining binding and washing steps to streamline workflows while reducing handling time and minimizing sample loss. These solutions are ideal for routine PCR product preparation requiring cost-effective and quick buffer exchange.

macroCLEAN

macroCLEAN provides a versatile buffer exchange solution for general nucleic acid samples, including genomic DNA. It effectively removes contaminants and transfers DNA into desired buffer systems, ensuring compatibility with downstream applications such as long-read sequencing or cloning. macroCLEAN is ideal for workflows requiring high purity and flexibility across diverse nucleic acid types.

MAGneat PCR Beads

MAGneat PCR Beads are designed for precise buffer exchange and size selection, making them a robust choice for high-throughput workflows or applications like next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation. Their magnetic bead-based system allows for tight control of fragment size and buffer conditions, delivering clean, concentrated nucleic acids suitable for the most sensitive downstream applications.

Applications

• Preparing PCR products for sequencing, cloning, or qPCR.
• Transitioning genomic DNA or RNA into buffers suitable for restriction digestion or other enzymatic reactions.
• Performing size selection for sequencing libraries or other precision-based workflows.

Choosing the Right Solution

• microCLEAN and microCLEAN XL are optimized for PCR product clean-up and buffer exchange, with microCLEAN XL handling larger amplicons.
• macroCLEAN is ideal for general nucleic acid workflows requiring high purity and flexibility.
• MAGneat PCR Beads excel in workflows that demand precise buffer conditions and size selection.
