Description: Flow Chart
DNA extraction kit from whole blood is designed to provide Pipette 300 µl of blood in EDTA coated 1.5 ml vials
quick, reliable and reproducibly higher yields of genomic DNA
from fresh blood as well as frozen blood. To avoid clotting,
blood should be collected in EDTA coated collection Lyse the RBCs by addition of 1 ml of 1X Solution A
vials/tubes. The first step in the extraction procedure is the
lysis of the red blood cells using Solution A, followed by lysis
of the white blood cells and their nuclei using chaotropic Spin at 8000 rpm for 5 min at room temperature
Solution B. Finally, genomic DNA is concentrated and
desalted by alcohol precipitation. The kit ensures extraction of Repeat the lysis until a clear white pellet of WBC is seen
highly pure DNA that can be used directly for PCR
amplification and restriction digestion.
To the WBC pellet, add 600 µl of Solution B
Highlights: and mix gently for clear lysis
• No binding resin – avoids shearing.
• No RNase treatment
• Does not involve phenol extractions. Centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature
• Quick protocol
• Recovery from 300 µl of fresh Human Blood (8– 10 µg) Collect supernatant, add 0.9 ml absolute ethanol, mix
• Recovery from 300 µl Frozen Human Blood (3 – 5 µg) and centrifuge at 12000/10000 rpm for 25 minutes at 4°C.
Applications:
Wash the precipitated DNA twice with 0.5 ml of 75% ethanol
Purified DNA can be used for downstream applications like
PCR, Restriction Digestion.
Centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C
Time Required:
Total Time: 90-100 minutes
Air dry the pellet for 5 min add 50 -100 µl of Solution C
