E-Z 384 Plant DNA HT Kit
This kit enables rapid and high–throughput isolation of genomic DNA from a wide variety of plant tissue samples. Up to 768 fresh, frozen, or dried plant tissue samples rich in polyphenols, polysaccharides or having a lower DNA content can be processed in approximately 1.5 hours, when processing two plates in parallel. The system combines the reversible nucleic acid-binding properties of our HiBind® silica matrix with the speed and versatility of a 384-well format to maximize sample processing throughput. The purification procedure relies on the well-established properties of the cationic detergent, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), in conjunction with a unique binding system to eliminate polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and enzyme inhibitors from plant tissue samples. The system eliminates the need for chloroform extractions traditionally associated with CTAB- based lysis methods. The eluted DNA is inhibitor-free and ready for downstream applications such as genotyping, plant breeding, population level analyses, Next Generation Sequencing, PCR, and more.
