![]() A key advantages of using magnetic beads in clean-up is that the large surface area of the beads allows for highly efficient binding of nucleic acids, meaning better washing efficiency when compared with resin-based or enzymatic methods. Magnetic clean-up protocols can be performed directly in the thermal cycling plate, and can be processed both manually and automated. Purified dye-labeled extension products will be directly loaded on Capillary Electrophoresis (Genetic Analyzer) without the need for resuspension. ![]() Subsequent wash steps complete the clean-up of cycle sequencing products, followed by elution of the extension products from the beads into solution. Products bound to the magnet are then pulled to one side, so all artifacts and contaminants can be effectively washed away. Magnetic beads selectively bind to the Sanger cycle sequencing extension products. In most instances, a magnetic bead-based chemistry is utilized to generate capillary electrophoresis-ready and sequence-ready samples. This prevents their co-injection with sequencing products during Capillary Electrophoresis.Ĭlean-up of PCR samples prior to sequencing and removal of dye terminators post cycle sequencing can be performed using magnetic bead, resin-based, and enzymatic methods. As sequencing is a highly accurate technique based on reading a DNA sequence base by base, it is very important to have an effective clean-up of dye-labeled extension products in the reaction mixtures, eliminating interference of unincorporated dye terminators, desoxynucleotides and salt-ions after Sanger cycle sequencing. Sanger Sequencing, also known as Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) sequencing, is a method of DNA sequencing, based on the selective incorporation of fluorescent dideoxynucleotide chain terminators (dye terminators) by DNA polymerase during in vitro DNA replication (cycle sequencing). Clean-up is a critical step in a sequencing workflow, preparing DNA or RNA samples to be compatible with a sequencer. ![]()
