DNA LoBind tubes maximize sample recovery of nucleic acids by significantly reducing sample–to–surface binding. A combination of special manufacturing technologies and selected polypropylene batches ensures nearly 100 % recovery of DNA/RNA molecules-without surface coating to eliminate the risk of sample contamination. DNA LoBind tubes are batch-tested and certified by an independent laboratory to be free from DNA, DNase, RNase, and PCR inhibitors. Eppendorf DNA LoBind tubes are ideal for sample preparation of long-term storage of nucleic acids in forensic, microarrays, NGS applications, and many others.
Eppendorf DNA LoBind
products are available in tube, microplate and deepwell plate formats to meet the different application needs for various sample volumes and throughput.
DNA recovery rate
after different incubation conditions DNA recovery rate (0.2 ng/µL DNA fragement (130 bp, 32P labeled) in 2.5 M NaCl/TE buffer) in Eppendorf DNA LoBind tubes compared to tubes from different suppliers. The Eppendorf DNA LoBind Tubes revealed up to 99 % sample recovery independent of the tested incubation temperature or time.
Application Note 226:
Use of Eppendorf LoBind® Tubes to consistently prepare and store standard panels for real–time PCR absolute quantifications. Adsorption of DNA to tube surfaces effects accuracy of real–time PCR results. The much higher DNA recovery from Eppendorf® DNA LoBind tubes leads to improved standard curves and subsequently more an accurate interpretation of DNA quantity in samples assayed.
