IBI gSwab Mini Genomic DNA Kit - Pure DNA in Just 20 Minutes
The IBI gSwab Mini Genomic DNA Kit is the perfect solution for efficiently isolating genomic, mitochondrial, and viral DNA from buccal swabs and saliva samples. Designed with epigenetics applications in mind, this kit uses Proteinase K and chaotropic salt to lyse cells and degrade proteins, enabling DNA to bind to the high-performance glass fiber matrix of the spin column. For enhanced DNA binding, the kit includes carrier RNA, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
In just 20 minutes, you can purify high-quality DNA with no need for phenol/chloroform extractions or alcohol precipitation. With an average yield of 2 µg of DNA per buccal swab and a saliva sample range of 1–100 µl, this kit is ideal for a variety of research applications requiring pure, ready-to-use DNA.
