Product overview

AcuGenix™ NGS DNA Clean Beads leverage a high-performance superparamagnetic bead matrix coupled with an optimized buffer system to enable efficient, reproducible purification and size selection of nucleic acid fragments. At defined bead-to-sample ratios, the beads selectively bind target fragments, allowing precise recovery of user-defined size ranges. The kit follows the same validated operating procedure as the industry gold-standard AMPure XP Beads, making it a seamless drop-in replacement for existing NGS workflows. It supports both manual experimental operation and high-throughput workflows on all major automated liquid-handling workstations.

Performance data

High purification recovery efficiency

BR3N401 AcuGenix™ NGS DNA Clean Beads: Figure 1. Nucleic acid recovery performance of BR3N401 magnetic beads — **Figure 1. Nucleic acid recovery performance of BR3N401 magnetic beads.** The same amplified DNA substrate was purified using BR3N401 or four commercial bead sets (A–D). BR3N401 achieved >85% recovery, ranking among the top tier of domestic and international reagents. These results confirm high and consistent purification efficiency suitable for both routine and high-throughput library workflows.

Note: BR3N401 is the catalog number for AcuGenix™ NGS DNA Clean Beads. >85% recovery is a premium industry benchmark for NGS library purification, minimizing nucleic acid loss for low-input samples.

Bead Ratio and Input Flexibility

BR3N401 AcuGenix™ NGS DNA Clean Beads: Figure 2. Equivalent purification and size-selection performance to AMPure XP — **Figure 2. Equivalent purification and size-selection performance to AMPure XP.** BR3N401 was evaluated against the industry gold standard AMPure XP across 0.6×–1.8× bead-to-sample ratios and 100–2000 ng input masses. Recovery remained consistently high and statistically comparable to XP across all conditions, including low-input and elevated ratio workflows.

Note: 0.6×–1.8× is the standard bead ratio range for NGS library size selection. BR3N401 is a drop-in replacement for AMPure XP requiring no protocol re-optimization.

Highly consistent size selection precision

BR3N401 AcuGenix™ NGS DNA Clean Beads: Figure 3. Higher recovery with equivalent reproducibility to AMPure XP — **Figure 3. Higher recovery with equivalent reproducibility to AMPure XP.** BR3N401 was benchmarked against a commercial XP bead across a wide range of bead ratios and DNA inputs. BR3N401 delivered consistently higher recovery across all conditions while matching XP’s lot-to-lot consistency and inter-replicate stability.

Note: Lot-to-lot consistency and replicate stability are critical metrics for library purification, directly impacting sequencing data reproducibility.

Ratio-dependent Fragment Enrichment

BR3N401 AcuGenix™ NGS DNA Clean Beads: Figure 4. Tunable size selection with preferential long-fragment binding — **Figure 4. Tunable size selection with preferential long-fragment binding.** A 2-kb DNA marker was purified with BR3N401 at incrementally increasing bead ratios. Electrophoresis revealed a stepwise shift in dominant fragment size, confirming ratio-dependent cutoff tuning and the beads’ intrinsic bias toward larger DNA fragments.

Note: Higher bead ratios increase the minimum fragment size threshold for binding, the core principle of NGS library size selection.

Size-selection Parity with AMPure XP

Figure 5. Size-selection profile parity with AMPure XP. A 2-kb DNA marker was purified with BR3N401 or AMPure XP at identical bead ratios. Electrophoresis showed matching dominant band sizes and distribution patterns for both reagents across the full tested ratio range, confirming equivalent size-selection performance.

Note: Full-range parity confirms BR3N401 is fully compatible with all AMPure XP-dependent library preparation workflows.
