Product news

PickPen® magnetic particle technology from Bio-Nobile offers remarkable improvements to the conventional magnetic bioseparation. Moving particles, not liquids allows gentle isolation steps and high quality purified product. The PickPen® method also enables a visual control of the process and simple optimization of purification protocols. The method eliminates strong external magnetic fields and centrifugal forces by collecting the magnetic particles from the sample vessel. This is especially beneficial in the DNA purification applications.

The MagRo™ 96-M magnetic tool comprises 96 proprietary PickPen® magnets. Combined with the unique PickPen® method high throughput 96 well plate processing is achieved, using deep wells plates or standard plates or combination of these to achieve sample concentration. The compact size gives the best sample number to desk space ratio available.

The open design of MagRo™ 96-M enables easy integration with liquid handlers, robotic arms and other laboratory equipment. Integration and flexibility is further enhance as the MagRo™ 96 can be configured for both landscape and portrait orientation of the plates.

Following High Throughput applications can be performed with MagRo™ 96-M:

  • gDNA and plant DNA purifications
  • Gene expression studies, mRNA or total RNA
  • Protein purification, His tag or GST tag
  • PCR and Gel fraction clean up
  • Multiplexing applications

In Germany Bio-Nobile’s instruments and products are marketed by BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES.

PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.

Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
