Application

KAPA Express Extract is ideally suited for the extraction of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-ready DNA from, but not limited to, the following sample types:Human tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples; blood collected in EDTA tubes or on collection cards; buccal swabs; hair follicles; forensic samples; biopsies)Animal samples (ear punches; tail clippings; hair follicles; blood; bone marrow; dried or fresh tissue from mouse and other mammals)Fish tissues (fin punches; fresh tissue; cold and hot smoked canned samples; ethanol-preserved samples; embryo)Insects (crushed)Bird feathers (calamus fragments).Nosema species

Features and Benefits

Key Features: Rapid extraction protocol: PCR-ready DNA in 15 minutes. Versatility: single kit optimized for successful extraction from a variety of tissue types, including buccal swabs, hair follicles, fish tissue, and bird feathers. Single-tube reaction minimizes risk of contamination. Produces high amounts of genomic DNA of good quality. DNA extracted with KAPA Express Extract is compatible with any PCR system.Increased PCR success from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples or tissues: Rapid DNA extraction and consistent downstream amplification of challenging sample types.Routine DNA extraction from blood sample types: Efficient extraction from “Guthrie”cards, FTA^™ Elute cards, and FTA cards.Quick Notes: Extract PCR-ready DNA from different tissue types in a quick and simple, single-tube protocol (15–20 min), without the need for hazardous chemicals or multiple washing steps. Significantly reduced turnaround times and risk of sample loss and contamination. Use 1 µL DNA extract per 25 µL PCR. Depending on the sample type, the extract may have to be diluted prior to PCR. One extract typically yields a sufficient amount of template for 50–500 PCRs. DNA extracts may be diluted in TE Buffer (1:5) or 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8–8.5 (1:5–1:10) for long-term storage at -20°C. Extracts are stable at -20°C for ≥6 months. KAPA2G Robust HotStart^® ReadyMix^™ is recommended for consistent and reliable endpoint amplification of DNA extracts generated with KAPA Express Extract. No quantification of DNA required prior to PCR.

General description

KAPA Express Extract is a novel thermostable protease and buffer system that allows for the extraction of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-ready DNA in as little as 15 minutes. DNA extractions are conveniently performed in a single-tube thereby greatly reducing the risk of sample loss and contamination.The combination of KAPA Express Extract and KAPA2G Robust HotStart^® ReadyMix^™ provides a high performance solution for rapid DNA extraction and consistent downstream amplification.
