OmniPrep™ Genomic DNA Isolation

The OmniPrep™ kit isolates high quality genomic DNA from many different species and tissue types

including animal, plant, bacteria, yeast, fungi, whole blood, and cells in culture. DNA can be isolated from

samples high in polysaccharides or other contaminants that are difficult to remove from the DNA

preparations.

The kit uses a rapid precipitation technique that uses unique precipitation reagents to isolate genomic DNA

free from proteins and RNA. Pure genomic DNA is isolated in 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the tissue

sample type used. The resulting genomic DNA is visualized on an agarose gel as a large single band,

demonstrating the high quality and minimal shearing of the technique.

The OmniPrep™ protocol contains individual protocols for the each different sample type and instructions on

how to adapt for large sample volumes.

OmniPrep™ isolates genomic DNA from a wide range of tissues and samples, including Yeast, Fungi,

Nucleated blood cells from bird, fish & frog, Plant tissues (fresh or frozen, rich in polysaccharides),

Mammalian tissues (fresh or frozen), Ethanol or formalin fixed tissues, Mouse tail, Blood, >Gram negative

bacteria, Blood stained & bodily fluid stained material, Paraffin embedded tissues, Cultured cells, Soil and

Gram positive bacteria.
