ZR FFPE DNA MiniPrep™

The Next-Gen of FFPE DNA Purification

High performance sample prep technology for high quality DNA (up to ~25 µg/prep) from FFPE tissue samples and sections.

Selectable size cutoff technology; recover total DNA >50 bp or >500 bp.

Eluted DNA is RNA-free and ideal for PCR, Next-Gen library prep, enzymatic manipulation, etc.


What is the ZR FFPE DNA MiniPrep™?

The ZR FFPE DNA MiniPrep™ provides a simple and reliable method for high yield/quality DNA isolation from formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples and sections. The unique chemistries of the product have been optimized for maximum recovery of non-crosslinked, ultra-pure DNA without RNA. Simply digest deparaffinized tissues using the provided Proteinase K, heat, and then purify the DNA with the Fast-Spin columns in the kit. DNA >50 bp or >500 bp can be selectively isolated by altering the lysis buffer conditions as given in the protocol. PCR inhibitors are effectively removed during the isolation procedure, and eluted DNA is ideal for PCR, Next-Gen library prep, enzymatic manipulation, etc.
