The Agencourt AMPure XP system is a highly efficient, easily automated PCR purification system that delivers superior quality DNA with no salt carryover. Requiring no centrifugation or filtration, Agencourt AMPure XP can be easily used in manual and automated 96- or 384-well formats.

Application: PCR purification

Downstream Application Techniques: PCR, genotyping (SNP detection) fragment analysis, sequencing (Sanger and Next Generation), cloning, primer walking

Agencourt AMPure XP Features

Figure 1. The recovery of the PCR products post-PCR cleanup was measured by spectrophotometry; 200 bp, 800 bp and 10 Kb PCR products where purified with the Agencourt AMPure XP kit, QIAquick* kit and QuickStep* filtration system.

Walk-away Automated Solution

Agencourt AMPure XP post-PCR cleanup has been automated on three Beckman Coulter liquid handlers, the Biomek 3000, NX^P and FX^P for processing scalability. The LIMS compatible automation functionality is aided by a user-friendly interface equipped with a quick startup menu, a deck setup walk-through menu, a method recovery menu, and a procedure menu.

Ordering Information

Process Overview

1. PCR reaction 2. Binding of PCR amplicons to magnetic beads 3. Separation of PCR amplicons bound to magnetic beads from contaminants 4. Washing of PCR amplicons with Ethanol 5. Elution of PCR amplicons from the magnetic particles 6. Transfer away from the beads into a new plate  

High Recovery

Agencourt AMPure XP purification system recovers amplicons greater than 100 bp with consistency and high reproducibility. The recovery efficiency of the Agencourt AMPure XP kit for small and large amplicon sizes is superior to the traditional filtration PCR cleanup methods (Figure 1).
