The Quick-DNA Tissue/Insect Microprep Kit is used for simple and rapid isolation of DNA from fresh, frozen or stored insect specimens.
Highlights
Simple and efficient isolation of DNA from insects, including mosquitoes, bees, lice, ticks, and D. melanogaster .
Purity
A260/A280 nm ≥1.8.
Sample Source
Small amounts (n ≥1 and ≤10 mg) of fresh, frozen, or stored insects. Also, compatible with fresh or frozen mammalian tissues, as well as cultured cells and whole blood.
Size Range
Capable of recovering genomic DNA up to and above 40 kb. Typical fragment sizes range from 25 kb - 35 kb. If present, parasitic and viral DNA will also be recovered.
