Successful DNA analysis requires reliable and high quality sample purifications. Plant material is always a challenge because it contains different types of potential PCR inhibitors e.g. polysaccharides or polyphenols. The sbeadex™ plant kit has been developed for flexible and reliable DNA purifications from plant leaves, roots and other plant material. Using this kit, high quality DNA can be extracted that is suitable for use in all downstream applications including PCR-based protocols and next generation sequencing.
sbeadex™ plant kit uses superparamagnetic microparticles and a novel two-step binding mechanism to
bind and purify nucleic acids. Combined with the washing steps, this unique process effectively
removes impurities and potential enzymatic reaction inhibitors. The absence of any organic solvents
in the final wash buffers prevents your nucleic acid preparation from being contaminated with the
inhibitory remains of these solvents and shortens the overall extraction time due to unnecessary
drying and heating steps.
Advantages:
High quality – consistent A260/280 ratio and improved A260/230 ratio
Easy to automate – magnetic microparticle handling offers flexibility in automated
processing
Convenient – all buffers are ready to use
Absence of PCR inhibitors – no organic solvents or chaotropic salts in final wash
buffers.
