The Geneaid™ DNA Isolation Kit (Cultured Cell) offers a simple and gentle reagent DNA precipitation method for isolating high molecular weight genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA from cultured 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 (Cultured Cell) 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 cultured 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.
