Product Selection Guide

Selecting the right product often depends on more than one factor. Sample type, target molecule, workflow format and downstream application requirements can all influence which system or product category is most appropriate. In practical laboratory use, product choice may also be shaped by throughput, input volume, automation needs and the relationship between upstream sample preparation and downstream molecular workflows.

Angen provides a broad product portfolio covering sample preparation kits, raw materials, DNA markers, PCR and qPCR reagents, NGS library preparation kits and laboratory consumables. This guide is designed to help users navigate major product categories more efficiently and identify relevant solution directions based on sample type, application and workflow preference.

For selected kit-based workflows, especially where more detailed technical references, workflow-oriented guidance or structured product selection support may be needed, additional resources are also available through Magen.

How to Use This Guide

Product selection can generally begin from several practical starting points:

  • By sample type, such as plasma, serum, FFPE tissue, blood, cultured cells, plant tissue or microbial samples
  • By target type, including DNA, RNA, circulating nucleic acids and plasmid DNA
  • By workflow format, such as silica column purification, magnetic bead-based extraction or automated processing
  • By product category, including kits, materials, reagents and consumables

Selection by Product Category

Sample Preparation Kits

Sample preparation kits remain a core category for many molecular workflows. Product selection may depend on sample type, target nucleic acid, workflow format and downstream application requirements. Common workflow considerations include low-input recovery, inhibitor background, fragment size and compatibility with PCR, qPCR or NGS-based analysis.

For selected kit categories requiring deeper technical references and workflow-oriented guidance, additional resources are also available through Magen.

Raw Materials and Workflow-Related Components

For users working in product development, customization, OEM-oriented projects or workflow optimization, raw materials and related components can play an important role in system design and process adjustment. Selection in this category often depends on chemistry, workflow compatibility and target application needs.

DNA Markers

DNA markers support routine molecular biology workflows in electrophoresis, product verification and size reference applications. Product choice may vary depending on fragment range, usage frequency and workflow preferences.

PCR and qPCR Reagents

PCR and qPCR products are used across a broad range of routine and application-oriented molecular workflows. Selection may depend on target type, assay design, sensitivity requirements and experimental format.

NGS Library Preparation Kits

Library preparation products are increasingly important in sequencing-related workflows. Selection considerations may include sample type, input amount, library strategy and downstream sequencing applications.

Laboratory Consumables

Consumables remain essential across sample preparation and molecular biology workflows. These products support routine handling, workflow continuity and laboratory efficiency in both manual and instrument-assisted processing.

Selection by Workflow Direction

Sample Preparation and Extraction

For workflows centered on nucleic acid extraction and sample preparation, product choice is often influenced by sample characteristics, target recovery requirements and downstream application needs.

In selected kit-based areas, deeper product guidance and workflow references can also be found through Magen.

Amplification and Detection

PCR and qPCR-related workflows typically require products selected according to assay purpose, performance needs and experimental design. These categories are relevant across research, routine analysis and workflow development settings.

Library Preparation and Downstream Molecular Workflows

NGS-related workflows often involve close coordination between sample preparation, clean-up, amplification and library construction. Product selection in this area should consider the broader experimental process rather than one isolated step alone.
