Extracta DNA Prep for PCR is a two-component reagent kit for rapid extraction of PCR-ready genomic DNA from a variety of tissues. Samples are processed in less than 30 minutes with minimal hands-on time and technical skill. Extracted genomic DNA is suitable for sensitive downstream PCR applications including end-point PCR, High Resolution Melt Analysis (HRM) and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) without requiring any additional clean-up. In addition, the extracted DNA may be used in multiplexed PCR applications such as transgene or knock-out analyses. Tissue extractions can be done in tubes, plates or deep-well blocks to allow for adaptation to workflow and automation on liquid-handling workstations.
