PR1MA™ Mammalian Genotyping Kit

• DNA extraction and amplification in 1 hour
• Proprietary lysis buffer optimized for ear punches, tail snips and other mammalian tissues
• Single tube - no organic solvents or clean up procedures
• Enhanced PR1MA™ Hot Start Polymerase included

Traditionally, mammalian genotyping protocols have involved Proteinase K digestion, neutralization, organic extraction and lots of hands on time to get PCR-ready DNA.

The PR1MA™ Mammalian Genotyping Kit is quick and easy to use - add sample to the proprietary lysis buffer and incubate for 5-10 minutes, then add the deactivation buffer and incubate for 10 minutes. The crude lysate can then be amplified using fast PCR PR1MA™ Hot Start Taq Master Mix with red loading dye (included). The kit contains everything needed - just add sample and primers.

PR1MA™ Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase

PR1MA™ Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (cUNG) is a recombinant, thermolabile enzyme that removes uracil from DNA. It is ideal for preventing carry over contamination during RNA or DNA amplification reactions that substitute dUTP for dTTP. cUNG is the only commercially available UNG that is completely and irreversibly inactivated by moderate heat treatment, unlike bacterial versions of the enzyme. Cod UNG treatment in combination with targeted pre-amplification using dUTP provides a simple and efficient solution to eliminate carry-over contamination and the generation of false positives and inaccurate quantification.

Buffer composition

• 50% glycerol
• 50 mM Tris-HCl
• 50 mM KCl
• 1 mM DTT
• 0.1  mM EDTA
• 0.1% Tween-20
• pH = 7.5
