The largest database of trusted experimental protocols
Sourced in Germany

The MEGAL is a laboratory instrument designed for the extraction and purification of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from various biological samples. It utilizes magnetic bead-based technology to efficiently isolate and concentrate the target molecules. The core function of the MEGAL is to provide a reliable and automated solution for the extraction of high-quality nucleic acids, which are essential for a wide range of downstream applications in molecular biology and genomics research.

Leukemia cell lines, LOUCY, MEGAL, and OCI-AML3 were purchased from DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany). K562, HL60, and HEL cells were obtained from JCRB cell bank (Ibaraki, Osaka). These cell lines were authenticated using STR typing by DSMZ or JCRB cell bank, and also the mycoplasma status was checked by them. LOUCY, MEGAL, and HL60 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium (Sigma) supplemented with 20% FBS (Sigma). K562 and HEL cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. OCI-AML3 was cultured in alpha-MEM medium (WAKO) supplemented with 20% FBS. EB3 ES cells (Niwa et al., 2002 (link); Ogawa et al., 2004 (link)), E14tg2a ES cells (Hooper et al., 1987 (link)) and their derivatives, and HeLa cells were cultured as described previously (Oka et al., 2016 (link)).

Detailed Cell Line Acquisition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LOUCY (T-cell leukemia), MEGAL (acute megakaryoblastic leukemia), FKH-1 (acute myelocytic leukemia), OCI-AML1 (acute myeloid leukemia), and MOLM-13 (acute myeloid leukemia) cell lines were purchased from the Leibniz Institute - DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH (Braunschweig, Germany). For details see Supplementary Table 1. HCT-116 cells were a gift from Dr. Denis Lafontaine (Institute of Molecular Biology and Medicine, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Gosselies, Belgium). Cell lines were maintained as detailed in the Online Supplementary Methods.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
