DNA and RNA Purification Kits and Reagents
The MasterPure™ Complete DNA and RNA Purification Kit enables rapid, high yield purification of high-molecular-weight genomic DNA, total cellular RNA and Total Nucleic Acid (TNA) from many different sample types.
The kit procedure uses a safe, gentle, and scalable salt-precipitation protocol (Figure. 1) that eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals and yield-reducing columns. Purification reactions can be scaled up or scaled down depending on the amount of nucleic acid needed and the size of the sample. MasterPure Kits for nucleic acid purification from Gram-positive bacteria, yeast (DNA or RNA), and blood samples are also available.
Purification of genomic DNA or total RNA for many applications, including:

Figure 2. Comparison of PCR sensitivity using templates obtained using the MasterPure Complete DNA and RNA Purification Kit versus a spin-column kit. PCR amplification was performed after extraction from serial dilutions of E. coli cells ranging from 2 × 10 7 (lanes 1) to 200 (lanes 6). Lane M, DNA marker; lane 7, negative control. |
