Has anyone used AMPureXP beads older than 18 months, (assuming that they were stored properly)?

Hi there,
Off the top of my head I think I am using a bottle, stored at +4, that is currently sitting older than 18 months and they have performed perfectly in all my recent preps so I'd say you're good to go! -
I used AmpPure beads ~ + 4 month. They have worked. I have checked mine first with a not important sample. You can test yours with a DNA ladder. I think it is in general a good idea.Comment

I have sometimes used Ampure beads that were 1-3 years past expiration date. They sort of work, but they seem to become less magnetic and and are therefore more difficult to work with.Comment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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
