Macherey-Nagel™ NucleoSpin™ 96 Food, 96-well kit for DNA from food
Description
The NucleoSpin™ Food and NucleoSpin™ Food 8/96 systems guarantee good recovery rates even for small genomic DNA fragments (<1kb) out of processed, complex food matrices, which generally have very low DNA contents as well as poor quality, degraded DNA.
After the food samples have been homogenised, the DNA is extracted with lysis buffers containing chaotropic salts, denaturing agents and detergents. The standard isolation ensures lysis using buffer CF, which was especially developed in cooperation with GEN-IAL, Troisdorf, Germany (patent pending). Lysis mixtures should be cleared by centrifugation or filtration in order to remove contaminants and residual cellular debris. The clear supernatant is then mixed with the binding buffer and ethanol to create conditions for optimal binding to the NucleoSpin™ silica membrane, selected for this purpose due to its unique DNA binding properties. After washing with two different buffers for efficient of potential PCR* inhibitors, DNA can be eluted in low salt buffer or water. Resulting eluates are ready-to-use in all types of subsequent detection methods, especially real-time and basic PCR* technologies and can be used for the identification of GMO-DNA or animal components in food and feed.
