Hi Friends
Has anyone used AMPureXP for ssDNA purification? I need to get rid of smaller cDNAs (<100 ntd).

Yes it works for ssDNA. It also works for RNA. And DNA/RNA hybrids.--------------

What volume should I use to eliminate low molecular weight (<100 ntd) cDNA?Comment
-
What I do is I mix 1 volume of DNA or RNA with 1 volume of AMPure XP and 1 volume of 30% PEG800 1.25M NaCl. That gives me a cut off of about 100 bp. If you search the forum there is a thread with more information on this with some guy that posted a nice experiment. Be warned that there is batch to batch variation with the AMPure XP beads.
There are some protocols on my blog at http://ethanomics.wordpress.com/ which perhaps describe what I do a little better.--------------

Thanks for the info Ethan. Will give a shot!

Hi Ethan,Originally posted by ETHANol View Post
Can you comment on what the cutoff seems to be for dsDNA vs ssDNA? Does it appear to be a function of molecular weight, strand length, or something else?

There's a recent post on James Hadfield's blog detailing how the beads work and how the concentration of PEG/NaCl effects the size selection.

Hi all,
Great to see that you guys are keeping this thread alive. As pointed out by Phillip, I am looking for the cut-off of the single stranded DNA molecules on AMPure beads. Comments are always welcome!!!
Thanks TonyBrooks for that like.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
