The usage of GB-Magic DNA Beads is the same as the AMPure® XP Beads (Beckman, Cat.No. #A63881), which is widely used in NGS library preparation. The yield and size distribution of the libraries prepared with GB-Magic DNA Beads are equivalent with those with AMPure® XP Beads. The cost-effective GB-Magic DNA Beads can replace the AMPure® XP Beads in your current protocols.
In addition to workflows in NGS for size selection and clean up, GB-Magic DNA Beads enables reaction clean-up, after ligation and PCR steps in general.
GB-Magic effectively removes salts, primers, primer-dimers and dNTPs. The protocol can be performed manually, or adapted to liquid handling workstations (e.g. Agilent, Beckman, Caliper, Eppendorf, Hamilton, PerkinElmer and Tecan) using individual tube, 96- or 384-well formats.
APPLICATIONS
GB-Magic is perfectly-suited to the following applications:
• NGS library preparation
• Sanger sequencing
• PCR
• Recovery from enzymatic reactions
