Application

REDExtract-N-Amp^™ seed PCR Kit has been used for DNA extraction

Features and Benefits

Perfect for quick genotyping results Rapid extraction of genomic DNA for PCR in 15 minutes No long enzymatic digestions Hot Start antibody for highly specific PCR amplification of genomic DNA Compatible with a wide variety of seed sources Extracts are stable at 4 °C for at least 6 months, allowing for multiple reassays Phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation not required Column purification or centrifugation not required

General description

The REDExtract-N-Amp^™ Seed PCR Kits provide all the reagents necessary to rapidly extract DNA from a wide variety of plant seeds and amplify targets of interest by direct PCR (polymerase chain reaction). 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 REDExtract-N-Amp PCR ReadyMix contains an inert dye that acts as a tracking dye and allows for convenient loading of PCR reactions onto agarose gels for analysis.

Principle

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 Reaction Mix (included in the kit) and PCR is initiated.
