Streptavidin Magnetic Beads
Streptavidin Magnetic Beads are 1 µm superparamagnetic particles covalently coupled
toa highly pure form of streptavidin. The beads provide fast magnetic response times
and reaction kinetics, and they have high binding capacity and sensitivity while
retainingtheir physical integrity. They can be used to capture biotin-labeled substrates
including DNA, RNA, peptides, antigens, antibodies and other proteins of interest
in manual or automated workflows. These beads typically exhibit lower non-specific
binding of proteins.
Binding Capacity:
≥ 30 µg biotinylated antibody per mg of beads or > 500 pmol of single-stranded 25 bp
biotinylated oligonucleotide per mg of beads

), coupled with low, non-specific binding
of streptavidin, permits captured substrates to be
useful as ligands in sample preparation, nucleic acid
isolation,immunoprecipitations and proteomics workflows
• Can be used for solution-phase panning in phage display
experiments, SELEX, purification of DNA/RNA binding
proteins and cell-based screening
• Provided in an RNase-free solution
features
• Can be used for manual processing of multiple samples or
automated for high-throughput applications
• Magnetic separation technology enables elution of
intact mRNA in small volumes, eliminating the need for
precipitating the poly(A)+ transcripts in the eluent
• Intact poly(A)+ RNA isolated in less than one hour
• Oligo d(T)

Magnetic Beads can be reused up to three times
with the same sample input
Magnetic mRNA Isolation Kit
The Magnetic mRNA Isolation Kit is designed to isolate intact poly(A)+ RNA from cells
and tissue without requiring phenol or other organic solvents. The technology is based
on the coupling of Oligo d(T)
25
to 1 μm paramagnetic beads, which is then used as the
solid support for the direct binding of poly(A)+ RNA.

Hydrophilic Streptavidin Magnetic Beads
Hydrophilic Streptavidin Magnetic Beads are 2–3 µm superparamagnetic particles cova-
lently coupled to a highly pure form of streptavidin. The beads provide rapid magnetic
response times and reaction kinetics, and they have high binding capacity and sensitivity
while retaining their physical integrity. They can be used to capture biotin-labeled sub-
strates including DNA, RNA, peptides, antigens, antibodies and other proteins of interest
in manual or automated workflows. These beads typically exhibit lower non-specific
binding of nucleic acids.
Binding Capacity:
> 400 pmol of single-stranded 25 bp biotinylated oligonucleotide per mg of beads
