Good product.
Application Area: Biomarker analysis
"Good product, but performs less good than column-based DNA extraction in case of low biomass samples. Optimization is required. Overall, DNA is free from PCR contaminations."

Excellent HMW DNA
Application Area:Isolation of HMW DNA from plant samples. Excellent yield of HMW DNA for PacBio Sequencing
"The kit was easy to use, quick and effective. There quality of the DNA extracted was acceptable for PacBio sequencing. The starting material was young leaves from flax."

Tested several HMW DNA extraction kits, this one worked best, and was easy.
Application Area:Nanopore sequencing for phylogenomics
"For good quality and quantity HMW DNA, I would have tolerated a time consuming and fiddly kit. However, this kit is certainly not that. It was very straightforward to use, lacking in fiddly steps. DNA yield was pretty good as was fragment length. I think it would lend itself to high-ish throughput, which not many HMW kits would easily do."

Easy, fast & reliable results.
Application Area:DNA extraction
"The Magbeads make life so much easier. Ever since I switched to using the Kingfisher for DNA extractions, this kit is my go to. The beads tend to sit at the bottom of the bottle but if you vortex really well it is easy to pipette an even amount. I've never had a problem with this kit, my results are always consistent and reliable and I think it's a good price too since one kit usually last more than one month."

Great results, can’t live without this kit!
Application Area:Microbiomics
"The magbeads from Zymo Research works very effectively for our DNA purification process. It is working so well we never had to contact the after-sales team. One bottle of magbeads allow us to do many runs of purification for months after it has been opened."

It is now my go to kit for HMA DNA extractions.
Application Area:DNA HMW extraction from bacteria
"Whilst not as straightforward a protocol as some competitors, the kit consistently extracts DNA >100kbp. DNA purity is good and performs well with long read sequencers."

Good HMW DNA extraction kit compatible with pipetting robot.
Application Area:HMW DNA extraction
"The Quick-DNA HMW MagBead Kit works quite reliably after tuning the amount of beads to the amount of DNA. We will be using it with our pipetting robot."

Great results, this kit achieved what I was looking for for HMW gDNA isolation.
Application Area:Genomic analysis
"This product is amazing, I got intact and very HMW gDNA from a very limited amount of tissue. Easy to use, the only thing I didn't like was the tissue preparation which took up to 4 h before to the actual isolation protocol, but after that the protocol is easy and fast."

Just what we needed for super clean HMW DNA.
Application Area:Clean up genomic DNAs before next gen sequence library prep
"We tried this MagBead kit to clean up our crude genomic DNAs before making Illumina libraries. The Nextera and similar kits work best with very clean DNA and this kit did what we needed! Tech support was great, they helped us get consistent results. Our Nextera preps have been great after adding this MagBead step!"

Provides good quality DNA.
Application Area:Whole genome sequencing
"I compared the quality of HMW DNA extracted by this kit to Qiagen HMW extraction kits. Both kits gave comparable DNA mass; but this Zymo Research kit gave a much better quality (A260/280, A260/230) than the other kit."

"We achieved high quality high molecular weight DNA in a short amount of time."
The Quick-DNA™ HMW MagBead Kit is the easiest method for high molecular weight total DNA extraction (e.g., genomic, mitochondrial, viral) from any biological fluid, cell culture, solid tissue, or environmental sample. Innovative reagents and Zymo Research’s unique system allow for a simple Bind, Wash, & Elute procedure that is unmatched in providing ultra-pure and high yield DNA of > 150 kb size. Isolated DNA is ready for immediate use in sensitive downstream applications including long read (Oxford Nanopore™) and NGS sequencing, qPCR, arrays, and methylation analysis.
The Quick-DNA™ HMW MagBead Kit facilitates rapid and efficient purification of high molecular weight DNA from any sample by combining enzymatic and chemical extraction regimens.
Features:
High Molecular Weight DNA: Extract high molecular weight DNA up to 150 kb from any sample
Ultra-Pure: Highest DNA yield and purity equipped with RNA removal technology
