Detailed Reference Manual (English Version Only)

The XELEX Kit series is a modular kit system covering a highly optimized version of the entire SELEX work-flow. It consists of a core kit and several add-on packages which add functionality for individual adjustment of the selection process to experimental requirements.

The kit is subdivided into two units, a selection unit and an analysis unit.

• Whereas the → Selection Unit covers the entire range of the actual SELEX enrichment and aptamer selection procedure from random DNA libraries,
• the → Analysis Unit deals with all issues related to quality control and initial characterization of both, the enriched libraries as well as of those aptamers identified as good binders.
• The → Complete Set assembles both, the selection and the analysis units, respectively.
• Extra spin columns for the selection unit are available as → Emulsion & DNA Spin Column Set.

The kit assembles bench experience from many man-years and cumulates in a streamlined work-flow. Novel approaches help to significantly cut down hands-on time from several months down to just a couple of weeks.
