Nanobind DNA extraction and SRE kits

Nanobind DNA extraction

Higher DNA quality means better HiFi data

Nanobind extracted DNA is optimized for HiFi sequencing. Our kits provide you with an all-in-one DNA extraction experience that can be used with a wide range of sample types. The PanDNA kit supports manual high-quality DNA extraction from cultured cells, bacteria, whole blood, saliva, tissue, plant nuclei, and insect samples in 1 to 2.5 hours. The Nanobind HT CBB kit enables automation of DNA extraction for human and animal blood, mammalian cells, and bacteria. Our HT kit is compatible with up to four robotic platforms and 96 samples that can be extracted in 2.5 hours.

How does it work?

Nanobind kits contain specific reagents to process and lysate diverse sample types. Following lysis, the DNA binds to Nanobind disks which shield bound DNA from damage during extraction, resulting in HMW DNA. A final Short Read Eliminator (SRE) size selection step helps remove DNA fragments below 10 kb.

SHORT READ ELIMINATOR (SRE) KITS

Simple size selection for optimal HiFi result

SRE treatment following DNA extraction helps removing DNA molecules below 10 kB. It results in improved HiFi read length distribution and HiFi sequencing yield. The SRE workflow is fast, easy, and inexpensive using simple size selective precipitation. HMW DNA is precipitated by centrifugation and low molecular weight (LMW) DNA is washed away. Many samples can be process in parallel in 2 hours (10 min hands-on time). HT solution will be available soon.

Removing short DNA fragments with the Short Read Eliminator (SRE) kit

This procedure describes the workflow for DNA size selection to remove molecules <10 kb using the SRE kit on HMW DNA before shearing and library preparation. The SRE kit is used for rapid size selection of unsheared HMW DNA samples. This method can significantly enhance mean read length by progressively depleting short DNA up to 10 kb.
