The benefits of the Agencourt kits for your RNA & DNA extraction:

Easy processing even of difficult samples
Centrifugation-free purification
Low error rates
High yields
Automatable

Beckman Coulter’s extraction and purification kits let you benefit from the Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) technology. It involves the use of paramagnetic beads that selectively bind nucleic acids such as DNA and/or RNA according to type and size. For your work routines, this means that you do not have to centrifuge during DNA isolation or RNA extraction, neither must you carry out complex filtration steps. SPRI thus enables safe and high-performance isolation and purification protocols for demanding molecular biology applications including qPCR, ddPCR, Sanger sequencing, Next-Gen Sequencing (NGS) and microarrays.

This is how nucleic acid purification using SPRI works:

Step 1:
Immobilization of the nucleic acid. SPRI beads are added to the sample. Contained DNA or RNA binds selectively to the paramagnetic beads while impurities remain in the solution.

Step 2:
Purification/washing. A magnet pulls the microparticles out of the solution. The solution is discarded and the microparticles washed to obtain high purity nucleic acid.

Step 3:
Elution. The purified DNA or RNA is eluted under aqueous conditions, resulting in high-purity nucleic acids and maximum flexibility for your subsequent applications.

Works with the pipetting robot, too. Automate your daily lab routine!

In labs with medium to high sample throughput, sooner or later the question arises: Why keep pipetting manually? It is of course possible to use our kits for RNA/DNA isolation on pipetting robots. This gives you not only top performance and consistent results but also unprecedented flexibility. Leave the pipetting to the robot – and spend the time you save on more important tasks.
