Description
Choose molecular biology grade Chelex 100, a weak cation exchange resin, for DNA or RNA preparation for downstream detection by methods such as PCR, RT-qPCR, RT-ddPCR or LAMP. • High degree of selectivity for divalent over monovalent ions (ca. 5,000 to 1) • Strong attraction for transition metals, even in highly concentrated salt solutions • Limits activity of enzymes, including metallo-nucleases, that require divalent cations for activity • Enables fast, easy and cost-effective method for nucleic acid preparations from many sample types including cell cultures, blood or tissues • Long history of being utilized for molecular biology applications. Please view Bulletin 3356 for a list of publications • Certified to be free of endo- and exonucleases, and ligase inhibitors • Larger volumes and special packaging are available upon request Chelex 100-based sample preparation workflow overview.
