Components
Kits contain Tissue Preparation Solution, Extraction Solution, and REDExtract-N-Amp PCR Reaction Mix.
Features and Benefits
• Single-step extraction of genomic DNA for PCR in 15 minutes
• Perfect for quick genomic DNA isolation for genotyping
• Protocols available for mouse-tails, hair, animal tissue, saliva, and buccal swabs
• A PCR ReadyMix™, specially formulated for amplification directly from extract
• Hot Start antibody for highly specific PCR amplification of genomic DNA
Other Notes
The REDExtract-N-Amp Tissue PCR Kits provide all the reagents necessary to rapidly extract DNA from a wide variety of cells and tissues and amplify targets of interest by PCR. A novel extraction method eliminates the need for long enzymatic digestions or homogenization. The kit also includes a specially formulated hot start PCR reaction mix for amplification directly from the extract. The REDExtract-N-Amp PCR ReadyMix contains an inert dye that acts as a tracking dye and allows for convenient lading of PCR reactions onto agarose gels for analysis.
Principle
The kit comes with validated protocols to extract and amplify genomic DNA from mouse-tails, hair, animal tissue, saliva, and buccal swabs. In a typical procedure, genomic DNA is extracted from a sample that has been incubated in the tissue preparation solution and extraction solution for 10 minutes at room temperature. The sample is heated to 95 °C for 3 minutes and then mixed with a third solution to neutralize inhibitory substances prior to PCR. A portion of the DNA extract is then added to a PCR reaction containing primers and REDExtract-N-Amp PCR ReadyMix, included in the kit.
