The Mag-Bind® Plant DNA DS 96 Kit is designed for difficult samples (DS) which are hard to lyse or contain high amounts of polysaccharides and polyphenols. The system uses a CTAB-based lysis buffer which does not require organic solvents. The proprietary binding system prevents inhibitors from binding to the magnetic beads. The wash buffer system further removes polysaccharides, phenolic compounds and enzyme inhibitors from plant tissue lysate. An optional rebinding step is included with the kit but most samples do not require the additional treatment.

Using paramagnetic particles provides high quality DNA that is suitable for direct use in downstream applications, such as qPCR, PCR and next generation sequencing.

The Mag-Bind® Plant DNA DS 96 Kit is compatible with multiple liquid handlers and magnetic processors, such as KingFisher Flex, Qiage Biosprint, Applied Biosystems/Ambion Magmax 96, Beckman Coulter Biomek FX/NX, and Hamilton STAR/STARlet.
