Genomic DNA Extraction Mini Kit (Tissue) has been designed
for purification of total DNA (including genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA)
from a variety of animal tissues or cells. The provided micropestle can
efficiently homogenize tissue sample to shorten the time spent for lysis. The
method uses proteinase K and a chaotropic salt, guanidine hydrochloride to
lysis cells and degrade protein. DNA in chaotropic salt binds to the glass
fiber matrix of column. After washing off the contaminants, the purified DNA is
eluted by low salt elution buffer or water. Purified DNA of approximately 20-30
kb in length is suitable for PCR or other enzymatic reactions.
