A higher sensitivity and improved performance is achieved with Dynabeads® compared to magnetic particles from alternative suppliers. Other particles often have a random size range distribution, surface area and binding capacity. This could compromise the reproducibility of your results. Dynabeads® hold reputable Dynal high standards with respect to within- and between-lot reproducibility and automation ability.
Advantages:
- Isolates viral DNA and viral RNA
- High sensitivity, allowing for a low detection limit
- Effective isolation of nucleic acids even from challenging viruses (e.g. HBV)
- Can detect HBV DNA in a 200 µl serum sample containing only 40 infectious units (using 2 mg (50 µl) Dynabeads®)
- Quicker than spin-columns
- Cost-effective and performs to the same level as spin-columns
- Automation-friendly (slow sedimentation rate + high magnetic mobility)
Applications:
- Isolation of viral nucleic acids (DNA/RNA)
- From human serum/plasma samples
- Well suited for automated assays
- Separate kit available for the isolation of genomic DNA (Cat. no. 370-12D)
Additional Info:
Validation and customization (bead, buffer, protocol or format) can be made available on a custom OEM basis. For further information, please contact us at: ivd@invitrogen.com
