Product Description
Brand Qiagen
Product Type DNeasy
Pack Size 12 samples
CAT No 69582
Application Molecular Reagent
DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kits quickly extract DNA using a silica-based, phenol- and chloroform-free process in spin-column and 96-well-plate formats. For most samples, direct lysis with proteinase K eliminates the need for mechanical disruption, reducing hands-on time.
High-Throughput DNA Extraction SimplifiedProcess up to 96 samples simultaneously with the Qiagen DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit. Designed for laboratories seeking both productivity and precision, this kit streamlines genomic DNA isolation from a variety of sources. Its 96-well silica-membrane plate format is perfect for manual or automated workflows, saving time without compromising quality.
Versatile Sample CompatibilityThe kit is engineered to efficiently extract DNA from whole blood, animal tissues, cultured cells, and buccal swabs. It accommodates heterogeneous sample types and volumes, ensuring flexibility for different research protocols. Whether processing animal tissues or blood samples, the kit delivers consistent DNA yields and purity.
Reliable Performance and Ease of UseFeaturing clear labeling and a color-coded system, the DNeasy 96 kit simplifies setup and minimizes the risk of error. Reagents are ready for use, and most can be stored at room temperature, with certain buffers kept refrigerated after first opening. The process can be completed in 90-120 minutes manually, or even faster with automation.
FAQ's of Qiagen DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit (12):
Q: How is DNA extracted using the Qiagen DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit?
A: DNA is isolated by lysing the sample and binding genomic DNA to the silica membrane within the 96-well plate. After several wash steps to remove impurities, DNA is eluted in 100-200 L of buffer for downstream applications.
Q: What types of samples can be processed with this kit?
A: The kit is compatible with whole blood, animal tissues, cultured cells, buccal swabs, and other related sample types, offering high versatility for varied research needs.
Q: When should I use automation with this DNA extraction kit?
A: Automation is recommended when processing a high volume of samples (up to 96 per plate) to save time and increase reproducibility. The kit is fully compatible with QIAGEN vacuum systems and robotic liquid handlers.
Q: Where should the kit be stored and how long will it last?
A: Store at room temperature (15-25C) upon receipt, though some reagents may require refrigeration after opening. The typical shelf life is between 12 and 24 months, as indicated on the box label.
Q: What are the benefits of using the DNeasy 96 kit versus traditional extraction methods?
A: This kit offers high-throughput processing, consistent DNA yield of up to 20 g per sample, reliable performance, and easy integration with automated platforms, making it ideal for laboratories handling multiple samples routinely.
Q: Is the kit suitable for clinical diagnostics?
A: No, the DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit is intended for research use only (RUO) and must not be used for clinical diagnostic procedures.
