- Description:EX-WAX™ Paraffin-embedded DNA extraction kit
CHEMICON's EX-WAX™ DNA Extraction Kit is intended to extract DNA from paraffin-embedded tissue fixed in 10% Formalin or non-crosslinking fixatives. DNA extracted by this kit is suitable for amplification by PCR.
The EX-WAX™ DNA Extraction Kit is qualified on paraffin-embedded mammalian tissues fixed in 10% Formalin or non-crosslinking fixative. DNA is made accessible by protein digestion. DNA is solubilized, while digested proteins are 'salted out' and spun to the bottom of the tube. DNA is precipitated, dried under vacuum, and resuspended. Once in solution, the DNA is suitable for amplification by PCR.
The quality of extracted DNA is directly related to the quality of the embedded tissue. Harsh or extended fixation will adversely affect the results.
