Extract-N-Amp^™ Blood PCR Kit

The Extract-N-Amp^™ Blood PCR Kits contain all of the reagents necessary to rapidly extract host genomic DNA from whole blood and amplify targets of interest by direct PCR. This novel extraction system eliminates the need for any type of purification, organic extraction, centrifugation, heating, filtration or alcohol precipitation. The kit also includes a PCR ReadyMix^™, specially formulated for amplification directly from the extract. This formulation uses an antibody based hot start, for specific amplification.

Extract-N-Amp^™ Blood PCR Kit has been used to extract DNA from genomes and dried blood spot samples. It has also been used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Genomic DNA is extracted from 10 μl of whole blood by simply adding the Extraction Solution and incubating for 5 minutes at room temperature. The Neutralization Solution is added to the extract to counteract inhibitory substances prior to PCR. A portion of the DNA extract is then added to the specially formulated PCR ReadyMix.
