General description
The Extract-N-Amp Seed PCR Kit provides all reagents necessary to rapidly extract DNA from a wide variety of plant seeds and amplify targets of interest by PCR. A novel extraction method eliminates the need for long enzymatic digestions. The kit also includes a specially formulated hot start PCR reaction mix for amplification directly from the extract.
The kit comes with validated protocols to extract and amplify genomic DNA from corn, wheat, sunflower, cotton, soybean, sorghum, canola, and Arabidopsis seeds. Additional protocols are available. In a typical procedure, genomic DNA is extracted from a sample that has been ground and incubated in the Seed Preparation Solution and Extraction Solution for 10 minutes at room temperature. The sample is heated to 95 °C for 3 minutes and then mixed with a third solution to neutralize inhibitory substances prior to PCR. A portion of the DNA extract is then added to a PCR reaction containing primers and the Extract-N-Amp PCR ReadyMix, included in the kit.
Application
Extract-N-Amp™ seed PCR Kit has been used for DNA extraction. It has aslo been used for extraction and amplification of DNA from symptomatic wheat seeds.
