Nucleic Acid Extraction & Purification

Extract DNA and/or RNA from samples with your method of choice: lysis, organic solvents or column.

  • Lysis reagents to degrade cellular components include:
    - Proteinase K
    - DNA removal with DNase I, Amplification Grade or Deoxyribonuclease I RNase-free solution from bovine pancreas
    - RNA removal with Ribonuclease A or RNaseZAP™
  • Extract from a wide selection of sample types with our range of organic solvents:
    - Isolate DNA, RNA and protein simultaneously
    - Isolate RNA with decreased DNA contamination
    - Isolate total and small RNA from human, animal, plant bacterial, and viral samples
    - Process tissues, cells or cell pellets
    - Process whole blood, plasma or serum
    - Process fluid samples, such as cell suspensions, CSF, and amniotic fluid
  • Choose from column-based kits and reagents to:
    - Extract and amplify crude genomic DNA from mammalian tissue and blood, plasma and serum
    - Extract high-quality genomic DNA from mammalian cells, tissue, blood, serum, plasma, urine, stool, FFPE tissue,
    fungi or bacteria
    - Isolate and purify total RNA, mRNA, microRNA or small RNA from tissue, single cell, FFPE samples, fungi, plasma and
    serum
    - Co-purify RNA, DNA and protein from a single sample, including from tissues, cells and FFPE samples
    - Perform high-throughput 96-well isolation and purification of DNA or RNA from blood and tissue and total RNA

Amplification

  • DNA Amplification
    - Perform routine PCR with Taq DNA polymerase, RedTaq® DNA polymerase and ReadyMixes
    - For challenging long, GC-rich or crude samples requiring higher fidelity than Taq blends, try our high fidelity KOD
    DNA polymerases
    - Reduce non-specific amplification and increase target yield with Hot Start PCR and KOD Hot Start PCR techniques
    - We offer FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase and the combination FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase, dNTPack, ideal for
    a range of PCR types (routine, multiplex, difficult templates, automated, Hot Start and RT-PCR)
    - For Long & Accurate (LA) PCR, we offer a range of LA thermostable and proofreading polymerases
    - For fragments up to 5kb, the Expand High Fidelity PCR System is a mixture of Taq DNA polymerase and a DNA
    polymerase with proofreading activity, delivering 2-fold higher yield and 3-fold greater fidelity compared to
    Taq DNA polymerase alone
    - For Quantitative (qPCR) or Real-Time PCR, we provide reagents for both SYBR® Green based and Probe-based
    methods, compatible with major instruments
    - Our comprehensive offering of custom and predesigned DNA oligos & qPCR probes
    - Repair and restore damaged and degraded DNA with our specialty DNA polymerases
    - For highly specific and efficient amplification of variants for genotyping, we offer Inhibitor Resistant PCR ReadyMixes
    compatible with a range of instruments
    - Stop mis-priming: ThermaStop™ and ThermaGo™ improve specificity and fidelity of Taq Polymerase in
    applications such as qPCR, multiplexing and preparation of DNA amplicons prior to next generation sequencing (NGS)

  • RNA Amplification
    Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) is a variation of standard PCR and involves the amplification of specific mRNA obtained from very small samples
    - Choose from our range of RT-PCR kits, cDNA synthesis kits and mixes, RT enzymes and additional reagents
    - For rapid and sensitive gene expression analysis, try our One-Step RT-PCR kit or the Enhanced Avian HS RT-PCR Kit
    which offers the flexibility of one-step or two-step PCR. We also offer a ReadyScript®cDNA Synthesis Mix, a sensitive
    and easy-to-use solution for two-step RT-PCR
    - Our RT-qPCR products combine the effectiveness of Reverse Transcriptase with hot-start Taq-directed antibody in
    convenient ReadyMixes for probe-based or SYBR® Green based applications
    - Prevent mis-priming before RT-PCR, increase RT-PCR specificity, and inhibit non-specific polymerase activity
    using ThermaStop™-RT

Post-PCR Clean Up
