The Geneaid™ DNA Isolation Kit (Bacteria) offers a simple and gentle reagent DNA precipitation method for isolating protein free, high molecular weight genomic and viral DNA from Gram (+) positive and Gram (-) negative bacteria cells, suitable for archiving or sensitive downstream applications. This highly versatile solution based system can be scaled proportionately in order to satisfy larger sample volumes providing a convenient sample-storage procedure with minimal hands on time. Initially cells are lysed in the presence of detergents and a proprietary DNA stabilization solution followed by RNase A treatment. Once proteins and other contaminants are removed DNA is precipitated then rehydrated. The high quality extracted DNA is ready for use in a variety of downstream applications.

Quality Control
The quality of the Geneaid™ DNA Isolation Kit (Bacteria) is tested on a lot-to-lot basis according to Geneaid’s ISO-certified quality management system. Genomic DNA is isolated from 0.5-1.5 x 109 bacteria cells. The isolated DNA (5-15 µg with an A260/A280 ratio of 1.8–2.0) is quantified with a spectrophotometer and analyzed by electrophoresis.
