IBI Scientific IB47280 gMAX Mini Genomic DNA Kit (4 Preps, Sample Kit)

The gMAX Genomic DNA Mini Kit has been optimized for genomic, mitochondrial, and viral DNA purification from whole blood (fresh and frozen) tissue, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, cultured cells, buccal swab, amniotic fluid, hair, and insects in one convenient kit. This DNA extraction kit uses Proteinase K and chaotropic salt to lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing DNA to bind to the glass fiber matrix of the spin column.

Contaminants are removed using a wash buffer and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt elution buffer, TE, or water. The entire procedure can be completed in less than 30 minutes without phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The purified DNA is suitable for use in PCR or other enzymatic reactions.

The quality of the gMAX Genomic DNA Mini Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis by isolating genomic DNA from 200 µl of whole human blood. The purified DNA (5 µg with an A260/A280 ratio of 1.8-2.0) is quantified with a spectrophotometer and analyzed by electrophoresis.

The gMax kit is one of the most versatile genomic DNA extraction kits on the market today. It has the ability to purify genomic DNA from a wide array of sample types with easy to use protocols and a very economical price point.
