BcMag™ One-Step DNA & RNA Removal Kit uses endonuclease -immobilized magnetic beads to remove DNA and RNA from sample using a single step protocol. The recombinant endonuclease is encoded by the same gene of Merck Benzonase nuclease or TurboNuclease) of Serratia macescens produced in E. coli. This nuclease nonspecifically digests all kinds of DNA and RNA, including variants of single- and double-stranded, circular, linear, or supercoiled DNA and RNA to 5’-phosphorylated oligonucleotides of 2-8 bases in length and is free of protease activity. The nuclease immobilized magnetic bead can efficiently remove all the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from protein solution with no endonuclease remaining in the solution due to the nuclease stably and covalently conjugated with the magnetic Beads.
Applications
An immobilized nuclease bead is ideal for removing nucleic acid contamination from purified proteins or other sample preparations.
Features and Advantages
●
Efficient one-tube and extraction-free protocol.
●
Ultrafast: Process 96 samples in less than 30 minutes with <10-second Hands-on Time.
●
Nuclease Recovered at the end of the reaction thereby can be reused.
●
Easy separation of the endonuclease from the protein sample.
●
Stability of the immobilized endonuclease increases.
●
Cost-effective: Eliminates columns, filters, laborious, organic reagents, and minimal plasticware required.
●
High throughput: Compatible with many different automated liquid handling systems.

B. Procedure
●
Do not use buffers containing organic solvents.
●
Typically, the bead is added directly into any standard buffer at the desired amount of the beads based on the concentration of the contaminated nucleic acids. However, for the best results, users should reference the following table.

1.
Shake the bottle to completely resuspend the Magnetic beads until it is homogeneous.
IMPORTANT! It is important to mix the beads before dispensing. Do not allow the beads to sit for more than 2 minutes before dispensing. Resuspend the magnetic beads every 2 minutes.
2.
Add an appropriate amount of the magnetic beads to a protein sample containing nucleic acids.
3.
Mix the sample with beads for 1-2 minutes by slowly pipetting up and down 20-25 times or Vortex the sample for 2 minutes at 2000 rpm.
4.
Incubate at 37°C with continuous rotation for 30 minutes.
5.
Place the sample plate or tube on the magnetic Rack for 30 seconds or until the solution is clear.
(Option: centrifuge at 3500 rpm for 45 seconds)
6.
Transfer the supernatant to a clean plate /tube while the sample plate remains on the magnetic separation plate. The sample is ready for downstream applications.
