FAQ

QuestionAnswer
My recoveries with the MultiScreen384-PCR plate are lower than expected. How can I improve them?Here a few things to check:
  • Make sure the vacuum is set to 10"Hg.
  • For detergent free PCR buffers, dilute sample up to 100ul prior to filtration.
  • Make sure the product is filtered to dryness. This will take at least 15 minutes.
  • Ensure adequate mixing by either automated pipetting or agitation on a shaker.
Will mineral oil be removed by the MultiScreen 384-PCR plate?No. Oil will resuspend with PCR products. All 384 thermocyclers use "Hot Bonnet" technology, however, eliminating the need for oil.
When using the Multiscreen PCR plates, what is the minimum and maximum DNA loading capacity per well?The minimum DNA loading capacity is one microgram per well. There is no upper limit.
What is the minimum recovery volume possible when using the MultiScreen-PCR plates?The minimum recovery volume is 50µl. Use of smaller volumes can be used but will result in a decrease in DNA recovery.
What are the dimensions of the Multiscreen-PCR plate?The plate length is 123.4mm. The plate width is 82.7mm. the plate depth is 14.6mm without the cover. 16.5mm with cover.
When using the Montage kits how can I tell when filtration in the MultiScreen plate is complete?Filtration is complete when the individual wells of the MultiScreen plate are empty and the membranes appears shiny. Filtration usually takes about 10 minutes, depending on starting volume.
What is the DNA binding capacity of the MultiScreen FB for PCR purification?The DNA binding capacity is 4-5ug per well.
When using the Montage PCR-96 kit, what is the recommended procedure for resuspension of PCR fragments post filtration?Avoid manual pipetting. The use of a plate shaker or automated pipettor (on robotic liquid handling system) is highly recommended.
What is the minimum resuspension volume for product recovery from the Montage PCR96 Kit?50 microliters per sample.
What is the maximum binding capacity for DNA in the PCR Product Purification protocol using the MultiScreen-FB plate?The binding capacity of the MultiScreen FB, after treatment with "binding" buffer is 4-5ug of DNA per well.
