Easy-DNA™ gDNA Purification Kit

The Easy-DNA™ Kit is a fast and easy way to isolate high-quality, high-molecular weight genomic DNA (gDNA) from a wide range of cells and tissue types. Sample sizes can range from a single hair follicle up to 1 gram of mammalian tissue. Other samples tested include mouse tails, plant leaves, yeast, and E. coli cells. These samples yield high-quality DNA with an average size between 100 kb and 200 kb, which is suitable for PCR,…

Application Area:

Tissue DNA isolation

Ease of use: It's very easy to use and to isolate high-quality DNA from animal tissue, blood, and hair. After-sales care: It only needs to be at environmental temperature (average temperature in La Paz-Bolivia is 19 °C). Value for money: A kit for 100 samples has a cost of 500$ in Bolivia. Although it is not a low cost, it is one of the most inexpensive kits to isolate DNA that's high quality.

The Easy-DNA™ Kit is a fast and easy way to isolate high-quality, high-molecular weight genomic DNA (gDNA) from a wide range of cells and tissue types. Sample sizes can range from a single hair follicle up to 1 gram of mammalian tissue. Other samples tested include mouse tails, plant leaves, yeast, and E. coli cells. These samples yield high-quality DNA with an average size between 100 kb and 200 kb, which is suitable for PCR, DNA hybridization, genomic DNA library construction, and other applications. Advantages of the Easy-DNA™ Kit include:

  • Reliability—high-quality genomic DNA from large or small samples of cells, tissue, plant, yeast, E. coli, blood, and even hair follicles
  • Simplicity—for most sample types, only 4 steps, typically requiring less than 90 minutes are needed to isolate high-quality DNA
  • Versatility—one kit is supported by optimized protocols for a variety of cell and tissue types

Simple workflow, quality results
Optimized protocols for a variety of cell and tissue types are included in the instruction manual supplied with the kit. Generally, small-scale gDNA preparations are performed in microfuge tubes, in which samples are mixed with Lysis Solution and incubated at 65°C for 10 minutes. After extraction with chloroform (not included in kit), precipitation, and reconstitution of the DNA pellet, the preparation is complete. The kit contains a protein degradation reagent (for use with high-protein–containing samples such as connective tissue), mussel glycogen for use as a co-precipitant for dilute DNA samples, and an RNase solution.
