Efficient Gel Extraction and PCR Clean-up

The Gel/PCR DNA Fragments Extraction Kits are designed to recover or concentrate DNA fragments (50bp-10kb) from agarose gel, PCR reaction, or any other enzymatic reaction. This method uses a chaotropic salt and guanidine thiocyanate to dissolve the agarose gel and denature the enzymes. The DNA fragments in the chaotropic salt are bound to the glass-fiber matrix of the spin column. After washing off the contaminants, the purified DNA fragments are eluted by low salt elution buffer or water. Salts, enzymes, and unincorporated nucleotides can be effectively removed from the reaction mixture without phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation.

Advantages

• Sample: Tissue, rodent tails, ear punches, fresh or frozen blood, serum, plasma, buffy coat, body fluids, cultured cells, amniotic fluid, FFPE, hair, insects
• Yield: Up to 5 µg of gDNA from fresh whole blood samples
• Format: genomic DNA spin column
• Operation Time: Within 20 minutes
• Elution Volume: 30-100 µL
• Kit Storage: Dry at room temperature (15-25°C) for up to 1 year

Introduction
The gMax Mini Kit is optimized for genomic, mitochondrial and virus DNA purification from whole blood (fresh blood and frozen blood), tissue, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE), amniotic fluid 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 within 20 minutes without phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The purified DNA (approximately 20-30 kb) is suitable for use in PCR or other enzymatic reactions.

Quality Control
The quality of the gMax 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.

Kit Components

*Add absolute ethanol (see the bottle label for volume) to Wash Buffer then mix by shaking for a few seconds. Check the box on the bottle. Be sure and close the bottle tightly after each use to avoid ethanol evaporation.

**Add ddH2O to Proteinase K (see the bottle label for volume) then vortex to ensure Proteinase K is completely dissolved. Check the box on the bottle. Once it is dissolved completely, centrifuge for a few seconds to spin the mixture down. For extended periods, the ddH2O and Proteinase K mixture should be stored at 4°C.

IBI MINI miRNA Isolation

IBI MINI miRNA Isolation

The miRNA Isolation Kits are designed for purification of micro RNA (miRNA) and other small cellular RNAs from tissue samples or cultured cells. Purification of miRNA allows research into biological significant pathways for gene regulation. The standard protocol for isolating total RNA and mRNA are not optimized for isolation of small RNA molecules and result in the loss of substantial amounts of miRNA and other small RNA.
