The Extract-N-Amp™ kits are designed to rapidly extract and amplify genomic DNA. The plant tissue version of these kits has been optimized to amplify without concern over plant inhibitors. This technical document will discuss the versions of this kit that
The availability of simple methods for purification of DNA and RNA has greatly facilitated the analysis and characterization of the genome and gene expression. There is a demand to isolate DNA and RNA rapidly and conveniently from a variety of
This article describes the evaluation of Whatman FTA cards from Cytiva for their ability to collect, store, and isolate high-quality RNA from a variety of crude biological samples.
In recent years, array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) has been refined to determine chromosomal changes at progressively higher resolutions. This evolving technology is, however, somewhat hampered by the large DNA input requirement—a minimum of 150,000 copies of a human genome
The cost of proteinase K can vary depending on the source, purity, manufacturing process and vendor’s quality management system. It is important to balance the cost with the desired quality, performance, documentation and technical/quality support to select the optimal Proteinase
Impact of Purification Method on Accuracy of DNA Quantitation and Downstream Enzymatic Processes. Evaluation of the purity of genomic DNA by UV spectrophotometry, gel electrophoresis, and downstream qPCR using GenElute™-E DNA purification kits.
Nuclease-free water (or PCR water) is needed in molecular biology to avoid sample degradation during PCR, sequencing, etc. Ultrafiltration provides a quicker, safer, and more sustainable alternative to DEPC treatment when preparing RNase-free and DNase-free water.
The Extract-N-Amp™ Tissue PCR Kit has been created to release PCR-ready DNA from mouse tails in a 15 minute single tube procedure. The included 2x PCR mix is optimized to work with the crude extracts and the solutions in the
Extract DNA from crude samples for PCR applications, including qPCR, using the KAPA Express Extract Kit. See frequently asked questions regarding sample type, optimization and storage.
The use of Pro K in combination with other reagents, such as detergents and chaotropic agents, can help to disrupt the cell membranes and release DNA from tissue. This is particularly important for downstream applications such as PCR, sequencing, and
The Extract-N-Amp Blood PCR Kits contain all the reagents needed to rapidly extract and amplify human genomic DNA from whole blood, whole blood dried on a blood card, and cultured mammalian cells.
RNAstable® is a novel preservation product developed to protect RNA from degradation during storage or shipment at ambient temperatures. The synthetic storage medium is based on the natural principles of anhydrobiosis (meaning “life without water”), a biological mechanism employed by
Affinity chromatography is the process of bioselective adsorption and subsequent recovery of a compound from an immobilized ligand. This process allows for the highly specific and efficient purification of many diverse proteins and other compounds. The process requires
The High Pure and silica adsorption kits developed by Roche depend on the tendency of nucleic acids to adsorb to silica (glass) in the presence of a chaotropic salt such as sodium iodide (NaI), guanidine thiocyanate or guanidine hydrochloride [Melzak
In many cases oligonucleotides require quantitative analysis to verify specifications have been met. MALDI-TOF and ESI-MS can provide qualitative-quantification for purity.
DNA, RNA, cDNA derived from ECACC mammalian cell lines allow screening for genes or expression patterns to identify lines most suitable for specific research.
Sera-Mag and Sera-Mag SpeedBeads provide cost effective magnetic bead separation technology for molecular biology applications, nucleic acid isolation, and research immunoassays.
