Sera-Xtracta™ HMW DNA Kit* offers magnetic bead-based extraction and purification of genomic DNA from whole blood (treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citrate or heparin), buffy coat, saliva, cultured mammalian cells and solid tissue samples. The extraction protocols are designed to efficiently remove contaminants and PCR inhibitors while minimizing shearing, resulting in high quality high-molecular-weight genomic DNA with minimal RNA carryover.

The Sera-Xtracta™ High-Molecular-Weight (HMW) DNA Kit has been optimized for expanded applications and is a direct replacement for the Sera-Xtracta™ Genomic DNA Kit*. The components of the kit and the product code remain the same. Please contact Scientific Support for IFU, protocol and datafile of the Sera-Xtracta™ Genomic DNA Kit*.
