Product overview

NucleoMag Blood

The NucleoMag Blood 200 µL kit (96-well format) and NucleoMag Blood 3 mL kit (24-well format) are designed for the rapid parallel purification of genomic DNA from whole blood. After lysis of the blood cells, genomic DNA is selectively bound to NucleoMag B-Beads. Contaminants are washed away, and the DNA can be eluted from the beads under low-salt conditions. Since the magnetic bead technology provides a closed system (no transfer of sample from one well to another is necessary during the preparation), the risk of cross-contamination is reduced. NucleoMag technology can easily be adapted to common liquid handling instruments. It can be used with either static-pin separators (e.g., NucleoMag SEP) or magnetic separators integrated into robotic workstations.

  • Single-tube procedure minimizes risk of cross-contamination
  • Small elution volumes: ≥50 µl for NucleoMag Blood 200 µL; ≥1 ml for NucleoMag Blood 3 mL
  • Complete processing is possible at room temperature
  • Easily adapted to automated use
  • Consistently high yields

Highly reproducible DNA yields  

Isolation of DNA from fresh or frozen 200-µl human blood samples using the NucleoMag Blood 200 µL kit provided highly reproducible yields (Figure 1).

Highly reproductible DNA yields from 200 µl human blood samples

Figure 1. Highly reproductible DNA yields from fresh or frozen human blood samples using the NucleoMag Blood 200 µL kit. Samples were taken from six different donors (#1–#6). Aliquots from each sample were purified directly (fresh), or after storage at –20°C for one day (frozen). For each aliquot, eight extractions were performed, and the indicated value represents the median yield (µg) for all eight extractions.

Isolation of high-integrity DNA  

The NucleoMag Blood 3 mL kit was used to extract DNA of high integrity from blood samples obtained from 24 individual donors, as shown by agarose gel analysis (Figure 2).

Isolation of high-integrity DNA from human blood

Figure 2. Isolation of high-integrity DNA from human blood using the NucleoMag Blood 3 mL kit. DNA from 24 individual human blood donors (Lanes 1–24) was extracted in duplicate and analyzed on a 0.7 % (w/v) TAE agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide. Lane L: λHindIII size marker. The gDNA migrates as a distinct band with a molecular weight >23.5 kb, indicating that it is of high integrity.

High yields of high-purity DNA  

High yields of highly pure DNA were obtained from a pool of blood samples extracted using the NucleoMag Blood 3 mL kit (Figure 3).

High-yield, high-purity DNA from 3-ml human blood samples

Figure 3. High yields of highly pure DNA were isolated from 3-ml human blood samples using the NucleoMag Blood 3 mL kit. 24 replicates of 3 ml each were extracted using the NucleoMag Blood 3 mL kit.

744502.1 NucleoMag® Blood 3mL 96 Preps USD $2055.00

NucleoMag Blood 3 mL is designed for rapid, parallel purification of genomic DNA from 3-ml inputs of whole blood in a 24-well format. The kit is compatible with fresh or frozen blood, as well as blood that has been treated with EDTA or citrate, and typically yields up to 100–130 µg of pure genomic DNA per sample. Purified DNA obtained with the kit typically has a A260/A280 ratio ≥1.6–1.9, and is ready for use in PCR, Southern blotting, or any kind of enzymatic reaction.

The NucleoMag Blood 3 mL procedure is based on reversible adsorption of nucleic acids to paramagnetic beads under appropriate buffer conditions. After lysis of blood cells, genomic DNA is selectively bound to the NucleoMag B-Beads. Contaminants are washed away and the DNA can be eluted from the beads under low-salt conditions. Since the magnetic bead technology provides a closed system (no transfer of sample from one well to another is necessary during the preparation), the risk of cross-contamination is reduced. NucleoMag technology can be easily adapted to common liquid-handling instruments: it can be used either with static-pin separators (e.g., NucleoMag SEP) or magnetic separators integrated into robotic workstations. NucleoMag Blood 3 ml is recommended for use with the KingFisher Flex 24 instrument, which enables automated processing of 24 samples in approximately 1 hour.
