MagCore® Troubleshooting Symptoms Comments and suggestions 1. The sample was lysed insufficiently. Make sure the proteinase K was stored at -20 °C, and repeat the procedure using fresh PK. Low or NO DNA product 2. The sample was too large to lyse completely. The large FFPE tissue was suggested cutting into 4 sections, and one scroll was enough for extraction.
