Revolutionizing Genomic Workflows with Enhanced Purification Technology

Global Expansion of Advanced Purification Solutions

INTEGRA Biosciences has successfully extended the market reach of its MAGFLO™ NGS magnetic beads, now readily available throughout Europe and North America. These beads are engineered for the effective purification of nucleic acids, crucial for various molecular biology applications.

Precision in Nucleic Acid Size Selection

The MAGFLO™ NGS magnetic beads undergo rigorous quality control to ensure precise single and double-sided size selection. This capability is vital for maintaining consistent DNA or RNA fragment sizes, which is a critical factor in the success of downstream genomic applications.

Key Features and Interoperability

Designed for practicality and efficiency, these magnetic beads offer exceptional stability at room temperature, are entirely RNase-free, and are fully compatible with existing industry-standard beads used in size selection protocols. Their interchangeability positions them as an economical yet high-performing option for a wide array of laboratory settings.

Versatility Across Genomic Applications

MAGFLO™ NGS beads facilitate controlled double-sided size selection for fragments ranging from 100 to 1000 base pairs. Furthermore, they are suitable for longer DNA fragments and genomic DNA, making them ideal for long-read sequencing applications. Their utility extends to fragmented DNA, RNA, cDNA, and PCR products.

Seamless Integration with Automated Systems

A significant advantage of MAGFLO™ NGS magnetic beads is their effortless integration with INTEGRA’s cutting-edge automated liquid handling platforms, including the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot equipped with MAG or HEATMAG modules, as well as the VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 handheld electronic pipettes. This integration streamlines DNA clean-up and size selection, minimizing manual intervention and boosting overall laboratory productivity.

Validated Performance and Reliability

Rigorous validation studies have confirmed that MAGFLO™ NGS magnetic beads deliver sequencing metrics comparable to, and exhibit no discernible bias against, industry-standard beads in Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing workflows. This underscores their reliability and suitability for high-stakes genomic research.
