RapidTip PCR Purification Protocols

Prepare Samples:

Diffinity RapidTip is optimized for 25 uL reaction 
volumes but can effectively purify samples from 20-
30 uL.

•  For PCR volumes > 30 uL, please aliquot 25 

uL into a new tube for purification.

•  For PCR volumes < 20 uL, please dilute to 25 

uL. This works best with highly concentrated 
DNA samples as your sample concentration 
will be reduced.

Prepare tips:

Diffinity RapidTip contains proprietary particles that 
purify a PCR reaction; these particles can adhere to 
the pipette tip walls during shipping. For optimal 
results, sharply tap the box 2-3 times on a flat 
surface so that particles are at the bottom of the tips 
(near the retainer). 

Please note that it is normal to see fine dust-like particles on the 
side of the tip. After you tap the box, you should expect to see 
about 2mm of white particles above the retainer at the small end 
of the pipette tip.

Purify Samples:

1.  Program pipettor to aspirate 50 uL.
