Product Introduction Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Blood /Cells) OneKit Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Blood / Cells) provides a fast and economical method for purification of total DAN (including genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA) from whole blood, plasma,serum, buffy coat, other body fluids, lymphocytes and cultures cells. The blood protocol utilities RBC Lysis Buffer, LDT Buffer and a rapid heating step to release DNA into solution. DNA in the chaotropic salt solution binds to the glass fiber matrix of column. After washing off the contaminants, the purified DNA is eluted by low salt elution buffer or water. There is no requirement for phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. Purified DNA of approximately 20-30 kb is suitable for PCR or other enzymatic reactions. Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Tissue) OneKit Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Tissue) has been designed for purification of total DAN (including genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA) from a variety of animal tissues or cells. The provided micropestle can efficiently homogenize tissue sample to shorten the time spent foe lysis. The method uses proteinase K and a chaotropic salt, guanidine hydrochloride to lysis cells and degrade protein. DNA in the chaotropic salt solution binds to the glass fiber matrix of column. After washing off the contaminants, the purified DNA is eluted by low salt elution buffer or water. Purified DNA of approximately 20-30 kb in length is suitable for PCR or other enzymatic reactions. OneKit Genomic DNA Extraction Kit 9

Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Plant) OneKit Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Plant) provides a fast and simple method to isolate DNA from plant tissue and cells. In the first step, the sample is lysed by homogenization. The lysate is treated with RNase A to remove RNA. In the presence of achaotropic salt, the genomic DNA in the lysate binds to the glass matrix in the spin column. The contaminations are washed with an ethanol based wash buffer and purified genomic DNA is eluted by low salt elution buffer or water. The protocol does not require phenol extraction and alcohol precipitation. The entire procedure can be complete in 60 minutes. Two Buffer System Protocol: Plant species are extremely diverse in their metabolic components and might contain large amounts of lipids, polysaccharides, polyphenolics and proteins. Due to the reason, OneKit Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Plant) offers two lysis buffers for optimum performance. LDP1 Buffer: For most common plant species, uses LDP1 Buffer to lysis plant samples (standard protocol); this system ensures to purify DNA with high yields and little degradation. LDP2 Buffer: The detergent system with LDP2 Buffer is suitable to lysis plant samples which contain large amounts of polysaccharides. For most of plant species, both buffers give similar results. Researchers may try one buffer system first or both in parallel. 10 OneKit Genomic DNA Extraction Kit
