MagSi-cfDNA

Circulating cfDNA by Liquid Biopsy
from plasma, serum or urine

A Liquid Biopsy is a non-invasive medical test that involves analyzing a sample of body fluids, typically blood, to obtain information about a person’s health status. Unlike traditional biopsies, which involve extracting tissue samples through surgical procedures, liquid biopsies provide valuable insights into various aspects of health and disease through the analysis of molecules present in the bodily fluids.
MagSi-cfDNA

This kit is intended for Liquid Biopsy, the (automated) purification of circulating cell-free DNA from human plasma, serum or urine samples. Processing time for the preparation of 24 samples is about 60 minutes.

Safety

The kit requires no phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation and eliminates the need for repeated centrifugation, vacuum filtration or column separation. It allows safe handling of potentially infectious samples. The obtained cfDNA can be used directly for downstream applications such as qPCR, or any kind of enzymatic reaction.

Features
  • Optimized for (automated) use on PurePrep 24
  • Suitable for use with fresh or frozen plasma,  serum or urine samples
  • Plasma can be collected with various blood collection tubes (Streck Cell-Free DNA BCT, EDTA, Citrate etc.)
  • Kit provides reagents for 96 extractions of cfDNA from 2 mL sample
  • Scalable for use between 1 and 4 mL sample, support protocol for 10 mL sample volume available
  • Typical yield: 0.5 to 4 ng cfDNA per mL of human plasma (but highly variable from donor to donor)
  • Following lysis at 56°C all other steps are processed at RT
  • Does not require carrier RNA
  • Magnetic beads are supplied in an optimized storage buffer for decreased sedimentation time
  • Suitable for many enzymatic down-stream applications in particular RT-qPCR and sequencing
  • Processing time for 24 samples: ~60 min
  • Kit comes complete (no additional alcohols required)

TECHNICAL DATA | MagSi-cfDNA

Figure 1. cfDNA yield from various volumes of serum and Streck plasma. cfDNA was quantified using an Agilent TapeStation 4150 assay (cell-free DNA assay). High cfDNA yields were obtained in a scalable way.

Figure 2. cfDNA yield from serum and Streck plasma samples. For serum, high yields (average of 2) were obtained in comparison to a competitor kit. The cfDNA yield was lower when plasma samples were used but the cfDNA percentage was higher (magtivio 64.6% vs T 60.5%).
