Product Overview
Omega Bio-tek Mag-Bind® TotalPure NGS is a magnetic-bead reagent for cleanup and size selection of DNA and RNA used in next-generation sequencing and other molecular research workflows. The reversible nucleic-acid binding chemistry can be used to purify PCR products, genomic DNA, cDNA and RNA while removing excess nucleotides, primers and smaller non-target products such as primer-dimers.
Fragment recovery is controlled by the selected bead-to-sample ratio, giving researchers flexibility for single-sided or double-sided size selection. The reagent is produced and quality controlled in an RNase-free environment for RNA cleanup applications. Workflows can be performed manually or adapted to compatible open liquid handlers and magnetic processors.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Recovery, fragment cutoff and yield depend on nucleic-acid type, input, bead ratio, protocol, automation setup and elution conditions.
Cleanup and Size-Selection Workflow
The exact bead ratio, sample volume, incubation time, wash volume and elution conditions must follow the applicable library-preparation method or validated laboratory protocol.
1. Configure
Determine the bead-to-sample ratio required for cleanup or the desired fragment-size selection.
2. Bind
Resuspend the beads, combine them with the sample, mix and incubate as directed by the protocol.
3. Wash and Dry
Magnetize the particles, remove the designated fraction and wash the beads twice with 70% ethanol before drying.
4. Elute
Resuspend the dried beads in the specified elution solution, magnetize and transfer the cleared eluate.

Manual and Automated NGS Cleanup
Mag-Bind TotalPure NGS can be processed manually with a compatible magnetic separation device or adapted to open liquid-handling platforms and magnetic processors. Jant-hosted product literature includes workflows or supporting data for 96- and 384-well manual processing, the Hamilton Microlab® STAR™, and the Tecan Fluent® 780. The current Jant listing also identifies protocol availability for Hamilton Microlab STAR and NIMBUS, KingFisher™, BioSprint® and MagMAX® 96 platforms.
Automation compatibility is configuration- and protocol-specific. Confirm the instrument model, plate type, deck layout, magnetic device, bead and sample volumes, mixing, incubation, wash, drying and elution settings before implementation.

- Cloning, PCR and real-time quantitative PCR
- Nucleic-acid labeling and Southern blotting
Important Product Information
- This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic procedures.
- There is no universal bead-to-sample ratio. Use the ratio specified by the applicable NGS library-preparation method or validated cleanup protocol.
- Increasing the bead ratio generally permits smaller fragments to bind; using less reagent excludes more small fragments. Exact cutoffs depend on the sample and workflow.
- The published >90% DNA-recovery specification applies to DNA fragments larger than 100 bp. Recovery varies with input, fragment size, bead ratio and processing conditions.
- Omega Bio-tek reports successful routine recovery down to approximately 100 bp. Recovery near 50 bp requires a protocol modification and must not be assumed from the standard protocol.
- The reagent can be used to clean high-molecular-weight genomic DNA, but efficiency and integrity should be evaluated for the laboratory’s specific fragment range and workflow.
- Thoroughly resuspend the magnetic particles and allow the reagent to reach room temperature before use.
- Residual ethanol can interfere with downstream applications. Follow the prescribed wash and drying conditions.
- The Jant-hosted user manual is dated November 2018, revision v2.1, and the quick guide is revision 1.1. Confirm whether newer manufacturer documentation applies before beginning work.
- Confirm current product availability, storage requirements and automation support when requesting a quote.

Mag-Bind TotalPure NGS is used for magnetic-bead cleanup and size selection of DNA and RNA in next-generation sequencing and compatible molecular research workflows. Applications include NGS library cleanup, PCR-product purification, genomic DNA and cDNA cleanup, and RNA purification.
Yes. Omega Bio-tek lists DNA and RNA cleanup, including PCR products, genomic DNA, cDNA and RNA. The particles are produced and quality controlled in an RNase-free environment for RNA cleanup applications.
The bead-to-sample ratio controls which fragment sizes bind to the magnetic particles. Higher bead volumes generally allow smaller fragments to bind, while lower bead volumes exclude more small fragments. Use the ratio specified by the library-preparation method or validated laboratory protocol.
Omega Bio-tek lists greater than 90% recovery for DNA fragments larger than 100 bp. Actual recovery depends on sample input, fragment distribution, bead ratio, mixing, magnetic separation, wash, drying and elution conditions.
Omega Bio-tek reports successful recovery down to approximately 100 bp with the standard workflow. The manufacturer also describes some recovery near 50 bp using a modified protocol with additional bead reagent and isopropanol. Follow the current manufacturer protocol and validate the required fragment range.
Omega Bio-tek reports using Mag-Bind TotalPure NGS to clean high-molecular-weight genomic DNA fragments as large as approximately 50–60 kb with good efficiency. Performance should be evaluated for the laboratory’s specific input and downstream requirements.
Yes. The reagent can be processed manually or adapted to compatible open liquid handlers and magnetic processors. Instrument-specific deck layouts, plate formats, volumes, mixing and timing must be confirmed and validated for the selected platform.
The current manufacturer specification lists an elution volume of 15 µL or greater. The Jant-hosted 96-well protocol uses 30–40 µL and the 384-well protocol uses 30 µL. Follow the volume specified by the applicable protocol and downstream workflow.
Store the reagent at 2–8°C. Allow it to reach room temperature and thoroughly resuspend the magnetic particles before use according to the protocol.
Mag-Bind TotalPure NGS is available as M1378-00, 5 mL; M1378-01, 50 mL; and M1378-02, 500 mL.
No. Mag-Bind TotalPure NGS is for research use only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures.
