About ZymoBead™ Genomic DNA Kit
The ZymoBead™ Genomic DNA Kit is a simple procedure for the rapid isolation of total DNA (e.g., genomic, mitochondrial, viral) from a variety of biological sample sources. This product has been optimized for maximal recovery of ultra-pure DNA without RNA contamination and is compatible with whole blood (fresh or stored), serum, plasma, buffy coat, solid tissue, bone marrow and buccal cells, cells from culture, and many biological liquid samples. For processing, simply add the specially formulated Genomic Lysis Buffer to a sample in a 1.5 ml tube, add ZymoBeads™, vortex, then centrifuge. There is no need for organic denaturants or Proteinase K digestion because of the unique chemistries featured in the kit that yield high-quality, purified DNA in just minutes (see below). PCR inhibitors are effectively removed during the purification process. DNA purified using the ZymoBead™ Genomic DNA Kit is suitable for PCR, nucleotide blotting, DNA sequencing, endonuclease digestion, bisulfite conversion/methylation analysis, and other downstream applications.
Specifications
| Format | Affinity Beads |
|---|---|
| DNA Recovery | Typically, DNA is eluted into 35 μl DNA Elution Buffer or water for the standard procedure. Human whole blood will yield 3-7 μg DNA per 100 μl blood sampled. Mammalian tissues yield: 1-3 μg DNA per mg skeletal, heart, and brain tissues and 3-5 μg DNA |
| Processing Time | 20 min |
| Equipment | Microcentrifuge |
| DNA Size Limits | Capable of recovering DNA up to and above 40 kb. In most instances, mitochondrial DNA and viral DNA (if present) will also be recovered. |
| Sample Sources | Whole blood, plasma, or serum from humans, mice, rats, etc. Also, tissue, cells from culture, buccal cells, as well as a variety of biological liquids are effectively processed using this kit. |
| DNA Purity | High-quality DNA is eluted with DNA Elution Buffer or water. DNA is well suited for PCR and other downstream applications. Typical absorption indices are A260/A280>1.8 |
| ZymoBead™ Binding Capacity | ~5 μg DNA per 10 μl ZymoBead™ slurry |
