Do you like to use paramagnetic beads for DNA size selection?
We sure do!
Omega Bio-Tek has recently released a new formulation of their Mag-Bind® Beads called TotalPure NGS, which can be used to purify both DNA and RNA. UO researchers can purchase aliquots of these beads from the GC3F for $7 per mL.
We have run a full series of tests to characterize their DNA size selection properties.

We do our best to give an accurate estimate of turnaround time when service requests are submitted. These estimates are not guarantees and occasionally change due to unforeseen circumstances (instrument maintenance/repairs, staff sick leave, etc.). Please let us know if you have a hard deadline on project completion when you submit your service request and we will take measures to ensure that we either meet that deadline or inform you ASAP if circumstances beyond our control will cause us to miss it. Thanks!
