Novel reagent formulation is designed specifically to overcome the problems caused by blood proteins and reduces the risk of obstructions forming in membranes
The isolation of DNA from fresh or frozen samples is no longer a difficult process, thanks to a new preparative chemistry from Applied Biosystems.
BloodPrep Chemistry can purify DNA from a variety of samples including blood, buffy coat, leucocyte fractions, buccal swabs and tissue culture cells.
The novel reagent formulation is designed specifically to overcome the problems caused by blood proteins and reduces the risk of obstructions forming in membranes.
BloodPrep Chemistry is particularly effective when various diseases and treatments cause profound changes in the sample, repeated freezing and thawing cycles cause changes in protein structure or where blood and anticoagulants have been inadequately mixed.
There are no centrifugation steps required and a unique two-step elution system allows high quality DNA to be recovered at room temperature in approximately three minutes.
96 samples can be processed in less than an hour and the resulting DNA is virtually free of contaminating proteins and PCR inhibitors.
