Cat# 61004/K61004
Product Description
MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles are ideal for messenger RNA purification. MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles feature efficient recovery of poly(A) tailed messenger RNA from total RNA. The mRNA are captured by MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles following a short incubation. The generated nanoparticle-poly(A) mRNA complex can be separated from the rest of the sample using a magnet. The retained mRNA material can be cleaved from the nanoparticles for generating sequencing library.
MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles enable the purification of poly(A) mRNA from total RNA. They can be used for Reverse-transcription, RNA probe, and RNA library construction. The purified mRNA products can be further analyzed by gel electrophoresis, PCR quantification and sequencing.

Materials Needed
Note:
The amount of nanoparticles needed for efficient mRNA capture depends on the poly(A) tailed mRNA concentration in the starting material.
In general, use 100μl of MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles per 100μg of total RNA.
Important: Always resuspend nanoparticles before use.
mRNA capture protocol
Bind mRNA
- Remove MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles from storage and bring them to room temperature.
- Vortex MagVigen™ DNA Select nanoparticles thoroughly for 10 seconds before use.
- Remove 100μl of MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles and put into a clean 1.5ml micro-centrifuge tube.
- Collect MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles using magnetic rack and discard the supernatant.
- Resuspend the nanoparticles in 200μl Blocking Buffer and incubate for 10 minute at room temperature.
- Collect MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles using magnetic rack and discard the supernatant.
- Resuspend the nanoparticles in 200μl Binding Buffer.
- Add RNA sample to the MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles.
- Vortex or pipette the reaction solution to mix thoroughly.
- Incubate the MagVigen™ mRNA Select nanoparticles-RNA reaction at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- After incubation, use the magnet rack to separate the mRNA-captured nanoparticles from the solution.
- Carefully remove the supernatant with a pipette, make sure not to disturb the mRNA-captured nanoparticle pellet.
Note: Make sure the beads are fully resuspended and well dispersed.
Note: A clear precipitate containing dark brown colored nanoparticles should become visible on the side of the micro-centrifuge tube.
Note: It is ideal not to introduce bubbles during the capture reaction.
Wash mRNA
- Resuspend the nanoparticles in 200μl Washing Buffer and sit in room temperature for 2 minutes.
- Use the magnet rack to separate the mRNA-captured nanoparticles from the washing solution. Carefully remove and discard the supernatant. .
- Repeat steps 13-14, performing a total of two washes.
Elute mRNA
- Elute the captured mRNA from the nanoparticles by adding 20μl of the Elution Buffer.
- Gently pipette to mix well and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature.
- Spin down a few seconds to collect the solution.
- Place tube on magnetic rack for 1 minute to separate the nanoparticles from the eluted mRNA.
- Transfer the supernatant containing the mRNA products to a clean tube. Make sure not to disturb the pellet. The purified mRNA is now ready to use for subsequent evaluation.
Note: The volume of the Elution Buffer can be adjusted as needed.
Note: It is ideal not to introduce bubbles during the elution reaction.
