The innuSPEED Plant DNA Kit is a tool for quickly and efficiently isolating genomic DNA from various amounts of a wide variety of plant materials (such as leaves, stems, roots, flowers, etc.). To this end, the kit contains Lysis Tubes with application-specific beads for selectively homogenizing plant tissue. When used together with the SpeedMill (Analytik Jena) and optimized extraction chemistry, this maximizes DNA yields thanks to effective digestion of plant cell walls. A prefiltration step is also performed to remove residual cell components. Genomic DNA are then bound to a Spin Filter and washed; the nucleic acids are eluted in a final step.
Features
- Isolation of genomic DNA from a variety of plant materials
- Application-specific lysis beads for effective homogenization
- Optimized for the SpeedMill; may also be used with other homogenizers
