The Presto™ 96 Well gDNA Bacteria Kit is optimized for high-throughput genomic and viral DNA purification from Gram (-) negative and Gram (+) positive bacterial cells. Gram+ Buffer, when combined with Lysozyme, will efficiently lyse bacterial cell walls consisting of the peptidoglycan layer. Proteinase K and chaotropic salt are used to further lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing DNA to easily bind to the glass fiber matrix of the binding plate. Contaminants are removed using a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer, TE or water. Phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation is not required and the purified genomic DNA is ready for use in a variety of downstream applications.
Samples: Gram (+) Positive and Gram (-) Negative bacterial cells (up to 5 x 108)
Convenient: Includes Gram+ Buffer for preparing Lysozyme solutions to speed up sample preparation when purifying DNA from Gram (+) positive bacteria
96 Well Binding Plates: glass fiber membrane optimized for genomic DNA extraction (sterilised to remove bacteria contamination)
Elution volume: 100-200 µl
Storage: dry at room temperature (15-25°C), Lysozyme is shipped at room temperature and should be stored at -20°C for extended periods

Quality Control
The quality of the Presto™ 96 Well gDNA Bacteria Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis by isolating DNA from Escherichia coli (5×108) culture. 5 µl from a 100 µl eluate of purified DNA is analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel.
