This DNA extraction kit uses protease and chaotropic salt to lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing DNA to bind to the glass fiber matrix of the Presto gdna 96 Well Binding Plate. Contaminants are removed using a Wash Buffer and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer, TE or water. The procedure can be completed within 45 minutes without phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The purified DNA (approximately kb) is suitable for use in PCR or other enzymatic. Purify 96 wells of genomic DNA in 45 minutes!

16 Presto TM 96 Well Plant gdna Ex trac tion K it Introduction (96GPP04, 96GPP10) The Presto 96 Well Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit is designed for high-throughput purification of total DNA (including genomic DNA, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA) from various plant species. Homogenized samples are treated with RNase A then centrifuged to remove cell debris and salt precipitates. In the presence of a binding buffer, genomic DNA in the lysate binds to the glass fiber matrix of the Presto 96 Well gdna Binding Plate. Contaminants are removed using a Wash Buffer and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer, TE or water. The entire procedure can be completed within 60 minutes without phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The purified DNA (approximately kb) is suitable for use in PCR or other enzymatic. 96 wells of pure genomic DNA from a variety of plants in 60 minutes!
