PuroSPIN™ Insect DNA Purification Kit
The PuroSPIN™ Insect DNA Purification Kit is an insect DNA extraction kit for fast, straightforward purification 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 resulting DNA is ready for downstream applications like PCR, genotyping and microarrays.
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 A260/230 ratio of ≥ 2.0, indicating high quality. Typical yield ranges between 1–10 μg and may vary between sample types.
Key features
- Easily purify genomic DNA from insect samples using silica spin columns
- Simple extraction process with no need for phenol or chloroform
- Specialized, detailed protocols for different sample types
- High-quality genomic DNA for downstream applications such as genomic sequencing, PCR, real-time qPCR or Southern blotting
Available sizes
- 5 preps – NK068-5
- 50 preps – NK068-50
- 250 preps – NK068-250
