Does anybody know what the composition of the elution buffer is? Shouldn't that be almost water?

When using Ampure XP beads, the included protocol says to dry for <5 min after the EtOH wash to avoid beads drying out too much and cracking. However most online protocols I see, plus Illumina's Truseq protocol (which uses Ampure XP) all say to dry for 15+ min until the beads crack. Anyone have any experience what difference this makes?
Also most protocols say to use fresh 70% ethanol to wash, but the Truseq calls for 80%. My understanding is that the higher ethanol concentration might be less efficient at washing away smaller molecules. Has anyone played around with this?
thanks

Beckman Coulter can't be happy about this idea. At least they may argue that you need to decontaminate the beads before binding other samples.
The homebrewed buffer seems to be promising; maybe someone can do some tests.

Originally posted by Heisman View PostI've done a bunch of bead purifications. I see pretty good results either way in terms of drying time. One thing to keep in mind is that if you use 70 or 80% ethanol, the ethanol will evaporate first and the last liquid you see will be water. So it can be a tiny bit wet and you can feel pretty confident that you have gotten rid of all of the ethanol. No idea about which ethanol percent to use.
Woops - should have noted - do you use a short dry time (<5 min like the Ampure XP protocol calls for), or do you go for a longer drying time (i.e. 15 min) as specified in the Illumina protocol? It seems like for such a small volume, this is a fairly excessive dry time, but I'm not sure how it will affect the Ampure Beads.Last edited by chronicle; 10-07-2011, 04:21 PM.

In my case the drying time is making only resuspension time a little bit longer and usually to be really sure that it's dry I dry beads 30 min under vacuum and nothing is happening to the product. But I have to note that mostly I'm working with the PCR products so maybe there are more stable.

Hi,
This question is related to AMPure XP but comparing it with the RNAClean XP. In theory the have different features:
As a leader in R&D genomics services, GENEWIZ provides superior data and high-quality constructs for next generation sequencing, gene synthesis, and sanger sequencing.

but some people told me that they are the same but with different buffer. Any idea or experience on this issue.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
