Genomic DNA Isolation Kit

This Genomic DNA Isolation Kit (50 preps) is designed for the rapid preparation of genomic DNA from a wide variety of sample types, including animal tissues, cultured cells, bodily fluids, and nasal or throat swabs. Purification is based on spin column chromatography, in which DNA binds under high-salt conditions and is released under low-salt, slightly alkaline conditions.

The purified genomic DNA is fully digestible with all tested restriction enzymes and is compatible with downstream applications such as PCR and Southern blot analysis. A dedicated protocol is also included for the isolation of viral DNA. In all cases, genomic DNA is selectively purified from other cellular proteins and contaminants.

Typical DNA yields vary depending on the type and quantity of the sample being processed. Preparation time for a single sample is approximately 60 minutes, and each kit contains sufficient materials for up to 50 isolations.
