HIGH THROUGHPUT PRODUCTS
MAG-BIND® PARTICLES
Our Mag-Bind® technology provides a flexible and
reliable method for isolating nucleic acids using
magnetic beads. Our magnetic bead-based kits are
optimized in processing times and binding capacity for
each application. Magnetic beads are available in 24-,
96- or 384-well formats to fit your sample size. The same
kit can be modified for different formats by changing
the volumes, plasticware and magnetic stands.
Magnetic beads allow for higher recovery and
yield of nucleic acids versus filter-based methods.
Magnetic stands with SBS standard format
can be added to liquid handlers, which can be
specifically programmed for an inexpensive
way to process multiple plates simultaneously.
Mag-Bind® technology is ideally suited for
liquid handlers that have a 96-channel head, but it
can be adapted to 8-channel head instruments.
Mag-Bind® kits can also be used with Thermo
KingFisher Flex®, Thermo KingFisher DUO®, Qiagen
BioSprint® and Life Technologies MagMAX® 96.
MAG-BIND® PARTICLES
SILICA PLATE TECHNOLOGY
Omega Bio-tek HiBind® technology is the basis for our E-Z 96® silica plates that have a binding capacity of up
to 50 µg of genomic DNA or total RNA and 20 µg of plasmid DNA. Our kits use semi-skirted 96-well plates that
fit manual and automated vacuum manifolds and plate adaptors for centrifugation.
The E-Z 96® silica plates have a silica glass fiber matrix that offers excellent well-to-well consistency and
includes tip directors to eliminate cross contamination. The plates feature a 750 µL well capacity to reduce
sample processing time. The E-Z 96® silica plates are an ideal option for liquid handlers with 8- or 96-channel
pipettors.
VACUUM MANIFOLDS
The E-Z 96 vacuum manifold is designed for manual
DNA/RNA sample preparation with E-Z 96® DNA/RNA
plates. The E-Z vacuum manifold is also compatible
with other semi-skirted filter plates.
The upper plate has a molded recess that fits our
filter plate and contains a custom gasket to create
a secure, airtight connection to the filter plate. The
plates have pins and holes for easy alignment and
stability.
02
LIBRARY NORMALIZATION
MAG-BIND® EQUIPURE LIBRARY &
gDNA NORMALIZATION KITS
Many high throughput applications, such as sequencing and genotyping, require the input DNA
concentration to be within a certain range for optimal results. Traditionally, a tedious process of quantification,
calculation and concentration adjustment must be carried out to normalize the DNA samples.
The Mag-Bind® EquiPure Normalization Kit completely eliminates the need to quantify and aliquot DNA, saving time, quantification bias and tip cost. Using our proprietary Mag-Bind® Normalizer Beads and binding buffer system, input DNA of various quantities is simply bound, washed and eluted to a final normalized product.
The magnetic beads have a limited binding capacity and therefore allow a pre-defined amount of DNA to be
captured and eluted. An alternate protocol allows for non-bound DNA to be recovered.
The Mag-Bind® EquiPure Normalization Kit allows users to adjust the quantity of DNA that binds to the magneticc beads and elution volumes can be adjusted to vary DNA concentrations to user’s needs.
The Mag-Bind® EquiPure Normalization Kit is fully automatable on multiple liquid handling platforms including Hamilton STAR, Tecan Evo, Caliper Sciclone and Beckman Coulter Biomek instruments.

DYE TERMINATOR REMOVAL
MAG-BIND® SEQDTR
Omega Bio-tek’s Mag-Bind® SeqDTR is designed to effectively and reliably remove unincorporated
terminators from sequencing reactions. Sequencing products are mixed with the Mag-Bind® SeqDTR
magnetic particles which selectively bind DNA. Two rapid wash steps eliminate trace contaminants such
as nucleotides and primers to reduce background signal and therefore achieve higher QV scores. The high
sensitivity of Mag-Bind® SeqDTR’s binding ability allows for decreased concentrations of BigDye® chemistry to
be used and longer continuous read lengths to be achieved. Mag-Bind® SeqDTR can be processed in 96- and
384-well formats and is compatible with many liquid handling instruments including Hamilton STAR/STARlet,
Beckman Coulter Biomek® FX/NX, and Tecan Evo® instruments. Up to four plates can be run in a 96-well format
in less than 25 minutes.

stabilized with PAXgene™ Blood RNA tubes or Applied Biosystems Tempus™ Blood RNA tubes. This system
combines Mag-Bind® particles and HiBind® silica technologies for purification of total RNA from up to 2.5 mL
preserved blood samples.
The blood sample is spun down and the crude RNA/DNA pellet is collected and washed. The pellet is then
resuspended and digested with proteinase K. The lysate is applied to a filter plate to remove genomic
DNA. This procedure completely removes inhibitors and sample stabilization reagents to allow for reliable
downstream analysis. High-quality purified RNA can be used for downstream applications such as qRT-PCR,
RT-PCR, and microarray analysis.

PLANT DNA
E-Z 96® PLANT DNA DS KIT
The E-Z 96® Plant DNA DS Kit is designed for the efficient recovery of genomic DNA up to 30 kb in size from
fresh, frozen or dried plant tissue samples rich in polysaccharides, polyphenols, or having a lower DNA
content. Up to 50 mg of wet tissue can be processed in less than 1 hour. The system combines the reversible
nuclec acid binding properties of the HiBind® matrix with the speed and versatility of spin column technology
to eliminate polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and enzyme inhibitors from plant tissue lysates. Purified
DNA is suitable for PCR, restriction enzyme digestion and hybridization applications.
This procedure relies on the well-established properties of the cationic detergent, cetyltrimethyl
ammoniumbromide (CTAB), in conjunction with the unique binding system to increase yields and provide
high-quality DNA. The system eliminates the need for chloroform extractions traditionally associated with
CTAB-based lysis methods. Samples are homogenized and lysed in a high salt buffer containing CTAB and
binding conditions are adjusted and DNA is purified using a HiBind® DNA matrix. Salts, proteins, anad other
contaminants are removed to yield high-quality genomic DNA suitable for downstream applications such as
endonuclease digestion, thermal cycle amplification and hybridization applications.

MAG-BIND® PLANT DNA DS 96 KIT
The Mag-Bind® Plant DNA DS 96 Kit is designed for
difficult samples which are hard to lyse or contain
high amounts of polysaccharides and polyphenols.
This system uses a CTAB-based lysis buffer which
does not require organic solvents. The proprietary
binding system prevents inhibitors from binding to
the magnetic beads. The wash buffer system further
removes polysaccharides, phenolic compounds,
and enzyme inhibitors from plant tissue lysate. An
optional rebinding step is included with the kit,
but most samples do not require the additional
treatment.
Using paramagnetic particles provides highquality DNA that is suitable for direct use in most
downstream applications such as qPCR, PCR and
next generation sequencing.
The Mag-Bind® Plant DNA DS 96 Kit is compatible with
multiple liquid handlers and magnetic processors
such as Thermo KingFisher Flex, Qiagen BioSprint,
Applied Biosystems/Ambion MagMAX 96, Beckman
Coulter Biomek FX/NX, and Hamilton STAR/STARlet.
