We would recommend using one of our MagMAX DNA Multi-Sample Ultra 2.0 Kit or ChargeSwitch gDNA Buccal Cell Kits, which were designed to isolate high-quality genomic DNA from buccal samples. We also offer normalized kits, which will normalize isolated DNA concentration from sample to sample.
We recommend the MagMAX DNA Multi-Sample Ultra 2.0 Kit (Cat. No. A36570) that is optimized for use on the moderate-throughput KingFisher Duo Prime Purification System (Cat. No. 5400110) and the higher-throughput KingFisher Flex Purification System, KingFisher with 96 Deep-well head (Cat. No. 5400630).

The difference between Proteinase K for MagMAX‐96 DNA Multi‐Sample Kit and Proteinase K for MagMAX DNA Multi‐Sample Ultra Kit is the brand. The former is from Invitrogen legacy and the latter is from Applied Biosystems legacy. Both products have an identical concentration of 100 mg/mL and can be used interchangeably.

Multiplex sequencing of up to 8 Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay GX samples (8 DNA+ 8 RNA) per lane on a GX5 Chip can be performed in a single run. There are 4 lanes on the GX5 Chip, so 32 total samples (32 DNA+ 32 RNA) can be run on one GX5 Chip (8 samples per run).
The Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay GX (Cat. No. A47857) includes the 2-pool DNA panel, the 1-pool RNA panel, Genexus Strip 1, and Genexus Strip 2-AS. The DNA panel is provided in two packs of 8 tubes (4 tubes of Myeloid DNA Pool 1 and 4 tubes of Myeloid DNA Pool 2 per pack). The RNA panel is provided in one pack of 8 tubes (Myeloid RNA Pool 1). Each primer pool in the panel is provided in pairs of tubes, where each tube pair contains one tube with primers in position 1 and one empty uncapped tube in position 2. Three 8-strip packs of the Genexus Strip 1 and Genexus Strip 2-AS (24 total of each strip) are provided with each kit.
The contents of each Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay GX kit are sufficient for up to 32 samples (32 x 3‑pool reactions: 32 x 2‑pool DNA reactions and 32 x 1‑pool RNA reactions).
The Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay GX includes 3 pools of Ion AmpliSeq oligonucleotide primers (a 2-pool DNA panel and a 1-pool RNA panel).
The Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay GX targets key genes and fusions associated with major myeloid disorders, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloid dysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). The DNA panel comprises 40 key genes while the RNA panel includes a broad fusion panel of 29 driver genes, enabling detection over 600 unique fusion isotypes. See flyer for gene targets (https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/CSD/Flyers/Oncomine_myeloid_assay_gx_flyer.pdf).
The Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay GX is a comprehensive targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay designed for sensitive detection of myeloid disorder-associated DNA mutations and fusion transcripts in blood and bone marrow samples.
Yes, we have protocols for using the MagMAX DNA Multi-Sample Ultra 2.0 Kit (Cat. No. A36570) to isolate genomic DNA from these sample types, but they require purchase of an additional Cell and Tissue Extraction Buffer. The kit and buffer can be purchased together as Cat. No. A45721 or the Cell and Tissue Extraction Buffer can be purchased as a stand alone item (Cat. No. A45469 or A45470).
The suggested workflow for bone marrow aspirates is as follows:
- Use only up to 200 µL of bone marrow aspirate
- Centrifuge at 200 x g for 10 mins
- Remove the supernatant (leaving about 50 µL of aspirate with the loose pellet) and resuspend the cell pellet in 400 µL of Cell and Tissue Extraction Buffer
- From this point, follow the protocol for isolation of DNA from buffy coat samples
The suggested workflow for 1-2.0 x 10E6 PBMCs is as follows:
- Centrifuge at 500-800 x g for 10 mins
- Remove the supernatant (leaving the cell pellet) an resuspend the cell pellet in 400 L of Cell and Tissue Extraction Buffer
- From this point, follow the protocol for isolation of DNA from cultured cell samples
Yes, we have protocols for using the MagMAX DNA Multi-Sample Ultra 2.0 Kit (Cat. No. A36570) to isolate DNA from cells and tissue, but they require purchase of an additional Cell and Tissue Extraction Buffer. The kit and buffer can be purchased together as Cat. No. A45721 or the Cell and Tissue Extraction Buffer can be purchased as a stand alone item (Cat. No. A45469 or A45470).
RNase A digestion is optional, but we highly recommend doing it. We recommend using PureLink RNase A (20 mg/mL) (Cat. No. 12091021).
Both kits use different magnetic beads and different buffers. Both kits can be used with stabilized and fresh saliva samples, but if you are exclusively working with saliva samples, we recommend using the MagMAX Saliva gDNA Isolation Kit. This kit has a faster and more optimized workflow for isolating genomic DNA from saliva samples.
