The Wizard® Magnetic 96 DNA Plant System is designed for manual or automated 96-well, high-throughput purification of DNA from plant leaf and seed tissue. The system has been validated with corn and tomato leaf, as well as with canola and sunflower seeds. The DNA purified from these samples can be used in PCR as well as more demanding applications such as RAPD analysis. Unlike column-based systems, the binding of nucleic acids to magnetic particles can occur in solution, enhancing contact with the wash buffer and increasing nucleic acid purity.
Protocols are available for Beckman Coulter instruments.
Features - Benefits
Improved Productivity:Manual and automated 96-well protocols cut purification time compared to CTAB extraction.
Ease of Handling:Eliminates organic extractions, multiple centrifugations and cumbersome filter plates.
Confidence in Applications Performance:Validated for both leaf and seed tissue by PCR and RAPD analysis.
