Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced that the Macherey-Nagel NucleoSpin Plant II kit for the isolation of genomic DNA from plant materials is available to UK scientists.
Offering improved cell lysis and DNA binding, the kit provides higher yields and improved purity of DNA for a variety of plant species and tissue types.
The isolation of genomic DNA from plant materials is often complicated by the presence of secondary metabolites in plant tissues that may inhibit subsequent enzymatic applications, such as PCR.
The NucleoSpin Plant II kit offers a choice of two buffer compositions and a silica membrane.
NucleoSpin Plant II is also available in a 96-well format for high throughput applications in the UK.
