For sequencing it is desirable that the genomic DNA extraction technique used allows the collection of intact genomic DNA in the longest fragments possible. A kit format can help standardize the procedures used to prepare tissue and cell genomic DNA samples for analysis.

To minimize the incidence of DNA shearing during extraction, Tissue and cells genomicPrep Mini Spin Kit includes a lysis solution with proteinase K to gently release genomic DNA from tissues or cells, including human genomic DNA.

The kit can be used for DNA isolation from diverse tissue types such as liver, kidney, and mouse tails with yields ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 μg of genomic DNA per mg of tissue. The kit consistently generates purified genomic DNA with optical density A260/A280 readings of 1.8 or higher.

The gDNA produced can then be further analyzed in PCR, for SNP genotyping, and next generation sequencing (NGS) projects.
