Food DNA Test
Product Overview:
The Food DNA Isolation Kit provides a fast and reliable method for the isolation and purification of total DNA from a wide range of food samples of plant or animal origin. It is specifically designed for applications such as GMO detection, identification of animal-derived components in food and feed, and detection of foodborne pathogens. DNA can be extracted from fresh, frozen, or preserved food samples, making this kit suitable for both research and quality control environments.
Purification Technology:
DNA purification is based on spin column chromatography, which enables efficient separation of DNA from proteins and other contaminants without the use of phenol or chloroform. The workflow includes:
- Homogenization of food samples (e.g., liquid nitrogen grinding or mechanical disruption)
- Lysis using CTAB-based buffer and Proteinase K, followed by incubation at 55 °C
- Debris removal and binding of DNA to the spin column under high-salt conditions
- Washing with specialized buffers to eliminate proteins and RNA
- Elution of high-integrity DNA for immediate downstream use
Key Features:
- Extracts high-quality DNA from plant- and animal-based foods
- Suitable for GMO testing, species identification, and pathogen detection
- Works with fresh, frozen, or preserved food materials
- Spin column purification no organic solvents required
- Produces DNA compatible with PCR, qPCR, sequencing, and other molecular assays
Applications:
- GMO DNA detection
- Food authenticity and traceability testing
- Foodborne pathogen detection
- PCR and sequencing-based assays
