Abstract: | We describe three new automated methods for purifying genomic DNA from whole blood. The MagneSil® Blood Genomic, Max Yield System uses MagneSil® paramagnetic particles (PMPs) in a 96-well format to purify the maximal amount of DNA from a 200-μL blood sample. In contrast, the MagneSil® ONE, Fixed Yield Blood Genomic System uses MagneSil® Fixed Yield PMPs to purify a normalized amount of DNA from 60 μL of blood in a 96-well format. These methods are implemented on the Beckman Coulter Biomek® FX automated workstation. The MagneSil® KF Genomic System uses MagneSil® PMPs to purify DNA from 1 to 15 samples of 200-μL blood using the moderate-throughput Thermo Electron KingFisher® mL instrument.The MagneSil® Blood Genomic System typically yields > 4 μg per 200 μL of whole blood, depending on the white blood cell content. The MagneSil® ONE System is best suited where there is a requirement for purification of a narrow concentration range of DNA. This system purifies 1 μg (±50%) of DNA from 60 μL of blood. The MagneSil® KF System purifies 2 to 6 μg of DNA from 200 μL of blood. DNA purified using all of these methods is suitable for PCR, STR, READIT® SNP genotype analysis, and multiplexed PCR analysis. |
