PuroMAG™ Insect DNA Purification Kit
The PuroMAG™ Insect DNA Purification Kit is designed for fast and straightforward extraction of DNA – including genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA – from a wide range of insect samples such as mosquitoes, bees, lice and ticks, whether fresh, frozen or preserved.
The kit simplifies purification with an easy-to-use extraction technology based on nucleic acid binding to silica-coated magnetic beads. Up to 50 mg of insects per sample can be processed in less than 1 hour. DNA purified with the kit is 20–40 kb in size, with an A260/280 ratio of 1.7–1.9 and an A260/230 ratio of ≥ 2.0, indicating high quality.
Key features
- Easily purify genomic DNA from insect samples using silica-coated magnetic beads
- Simple extraction process with no need for phenol or chloroform
- Specialized and detailed protocols for different sample types
- Works with fresh, frozen or preserved insects
Applications
The resulting DNA is ready for downstream applications such as PCR, genotyping, microarrays, genomic sequencing, real-time qPCR and Southern blotting.
