DNA Extraction/Genomic DNA Purification
The Presto™ Urine DNA Extraction Kit is designed for rapid isolation of high-quality cellular and cell-free DNA from up to 5 ml of urine. The kit includes uniquely designed Column Extension Tubes which allow for increased sample volume and yield. Urine samples are lysed using Proteinase K and a buffer containing chaotropic salt. The lysate is mixed with a binding buffer to facilitate DNA binding to the column membrane. The column is then washed and DNA is eluted with Elution Buffer. The entire procedure can be completed within 60 minutes and the purified DNA is ready for use in a variety of downstream applications such as qPCR, Next-Generation sequencing and DNA methylation analysis.
