MagMAX™ CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit, 100 rxns - FAQs

Q: When using the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit (Cat. No. A32700), I am getting good DNA / RNA concentrations and also acceptable 260/280 ratios, but, however, very low 260/230 ratios (<1), how could I improve this value to be closer to 1.8?

Performing an additional alcohol wash step will help improve this ratio. Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Nucleic Acid Quantification Support Center .

Q: With the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit, do I need to add alcohol to any of the wash buffers?

No. All buffers arrive pre-mixed with alcohol.

Q: Where can I find the .bdz files for use with the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit?

You can find the .bdz files located within the Documents section of the MagMAX CORE product page (https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/A32700) under "Product Literature".

Q: What is different about the MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit compared to the other MagMAX kits?

The MagMAX CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit offers pre-mixed, room-temperature reagents, which greatly improve product handling and storage. Specifically, the CORE kit decreases processing times by having pre-mixed washes that do not require the addition of alcohol, a single protocol adapted on multiple KingFisher magnetic particle processors, and a complete protocol that addresses 14 unique sample types.
