The genesig easy DNA/RNA extraction protocol begins with a simple lysis step where cells and tissue are lysed to release their nucleic acid. Then minute magnetic particles are added to bind to DNA/RNA. When placed on to the genesig magnetic separator the particles are pulled to the side of the tube making it easy to remove the unwanted supernatant with a pipette. Then a series of simple wash steps are performed before the DNA/RNA is washed off the beads back in to solution, ready for analysis by real-time PCR.

It is fast, and incredibly easy to perform.

• Extracts DNA and RNA with high yields in 45-60 mins
• Works with huge range of sample types
• Safe protocol with no phenolic chemicals
• No centrifuge required - for use in the lab or in the field

Suitable sample types:
Clinical and Veterinary - including whole blood, plasma, and serum; saliva and sputum; faeces and urine; tissues; dry swabs; and bacterial culture broth
Food - including meat, fish, milk, and cooked or processed food products
Environmental - including plant, soil, and water
