  • AMPureXP for ssDNA

    Hi Friends

    Has anyone used AMPureXP for ssDNA purification? I need to get rid of smaller cDNAs (<100 ntd).

    Yes it works for ssDNA. It also works for RNA. And DNA/RNA hybrids.

      What volume should I use to eliminate low molecular weight (<100 ntd) cDNA?

        What I do is I mix 1 volume of DNA or RNA with 1 volume of AMPure XP and 1 volume of 30% PEG800 1.25M NaCl. That gives me a cut off of about 100 bp. If you search the forum there is a thread with more information on this with some guy that posted a nice experiment. Be warned that there is batch to batch variation with the AMPure XP beads.

        There are some protocols on my blog at http://ethanomics.wordpress.com/ which perhaps describe what I do a little better.

            Hi Ethan,
            Can you comment on what the cutoff seems to be for dsDNA vs ssDNA? Does it appear to be a function of molecular weight, strand length, or something else?

              There's a recent post on James Hadfield's blog detailing how the beads work and how the concentration of PEG/NaCl effects the size selection.

              Someone recently asked me, “how do SPRI beads work” and I realized I was not completely sure so I went to find out. My lab uses kits. Lots...

                Hi all,

                Great to see that you guys are keeping this thread alive. As pointed out by Phillip, I am looking for the cut-off of the single stranded DNA molecules on AMPure beads. Comments are always welcome!!!

                Thanks TonyBrooks for that like.

                  Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                  by seqadmin


                  Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
