Spin column tubes are a specially developed system for the purification, isolation, and separation of biomolecules. The system is widely used in molecular biology for applications involving DNA, RNA, plasmids, viral DNA, and genomic DNA.
Spin columns are also commonly used for PCR purification and sample preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS), where high-quality and precise handling of nucleic acids is essential.
In molecular biology, the isolation of plasmid DNA from microbial cells is a common procedure. It is used for applications such as:
After performing a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it is often necessary to purify the PCR products from remaining reaction components such as nucleotides, primers, enzymes, and buffers. This process is commonly referred to as PCR purification.
With the AHN myTube® Spin Column System, PCR purification becomes faster and more efficient. The system provides a simple way to recover concentrated DNA from agarose gels.
DNA gel purification follows three simple steps:
Bind – Wash – Elute
This ensures efficient DNA recovery and provides a cost-effective solution for laboratories.
Spin column technology also simplifies and accelerates the extraction of genomic DNA, resulting in high-quality nucleic acids suitable for downstream applications such as sequencing and cloning.
The AHN myTube® Spin Column System consists of:
The system is designed to be compatible with most standard laboratory centrifuges.
Spin column tubes can be used at:
The system is engineered to withstand high mechanical stress and chemical exposure, making it suitable for demanding laboratory applications.
The filter tubes are manufactured from high-quality clear virgin polypropylene, which does not interfere with reaction components. The material provides:
Spin columns are equipped with high-quality filter membranes that meet the requirements of many common laboratory protocols.
The filter membranes are available in two material types.
Glass Fiber Filter (GF)
Glass fiber filters are recommended for:
Advantages:
Polyethylene Filter (PE)
Polyethylene filters are mainly used for:
Advantages:
The system includes a 2.0 ml collection tube with clear graduation marks, making it easier to read volumes and reducing the risk of handling errors.
Like the filter tubes, the myTube® collection tubes are manufactured from autoclavable virgin polypropylene and produced in AHN’s ISO 9001-certified manufacturing facilities.
The AHN myTube® Spin Column System can be used in many life science applications. The different filter membrane options make the system flexible and suitable for DNA and RNA purification, filtration, and laboratory sample preparation.
