Custom manufactured oligonucleotides require additional purification steps after synthesis to separate the full?length products from contaminants. The GX-271 Oligo Purification System can be used to isolate, analyze, and desalt reagent-grade oligonucleotides in one continuous run. Learn how in this application note.
In this study, functional corn RNA was quantitated by RT-qPCR using the GoTaq® Probe 1-Step RT-qPCR System after two different extraction methods. To enhance the pipetting accuracy and consistency an automated pipetting assistant, PIPETMAX was used to reduce pipetting errors inherent in manual methods.
Normalization of the concentration of nucleic acid samples is a crucial yet tedious process that requires constant readjustment of the volume of the pipetting device. PIPETMAX® Normalization Assistant automates this process: calculations are carried out by the software, eliminating arithmetic errors, and pipetting volumes are adjusted automatically - learn more in this app note.
Quantitative real time PCR, often coupled with reverse transcription, is a very sensitive technique that can be used for many applications including gene expression analysis. PIPETMAX Normalization Assistant delivers an easy-to-use software and hardware solution to automate normalization of sample concentration without compromising RNA integrity.
This application note describes the setup and execution of automation of the Illumina® Nextera® XT DNA Library Preparation Kit using the PIPETMAX automated liquid handler. Five different scripts have been created and are described in detail in this document.
Solid phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) beads are commonly used to clean up polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA samples for downstream applications, such as sequencing and cloning. This application note demonstrates a flexible and reliable automated procedure for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library cleanup.
Gene expression studies are often used to gain insight into complex interactions between organisms, including those between plants and viruses. Real-time PCR (qPCR) is a tool frequently used in these studies given its wide dynamic range, sensitivity, and ease of automation. Learn how PIPETMAX can be used to automate qPCR sample prep in this informative app note.
Physicians need test kits to identify all of the genetic mutations of a condition at once so that they can initiate the right treatment. In this app note, we describe how the PIPETMAX automated liquid handler can be used within a BRCA MASTR Dx molecular diagnostic assay.
Reagents used in qPCR master mixes, including buffers, surfactants, and detergents, can negatively influence accuracy and precision, thereby increasing sample variability and decreasing data reliability. In this app note, we used PIPETMAX® to test whether the number of times a tip was pre-wet before transferring master mix affected qPCR performance.
In this application, NGS libraries were prepared from E. Coli DH10B genomic DNA (gDNA) and FAMlabeled adaptors using the NxSeq® DNA Sample Prep kit, comparing the manual method with an automated library prep protocol on the PIPETMAX. This application note describes the results of the ligation efficiency of manual library preparation versus automated library preparation.
