Diffinity Technology Principle

The Diffinity RapidTip contains everything you 
need for PCR purification. The tip is filled with our 
proprietary adsorption technology, which has a 
differential affinity for PCR reaction components. 
The impurities are removed from the solution as 
it enters the pipette tip. Dispensing the solution 
yields purified, high quality DNA ready to use for 
downstream applications. You won’t need additional 
equipment, reagents, buffers, or enzymes - only a 
pipettor!

Diffinity RapidTip Purification has excellent yield. Equal volumes 
of untreated (-) and Diffinity RapidTip treated (+) PCR product 
(.5Kb, 1Kb, 2Kb) were run on a 1% agarose gel alongside 
Invitrogen 1Kb Plus Ladder (L) and labeled with SybrSafe.
