Overview
- Isolate DNA from a wide range of food materials. (e.g boiled, fluid, processed or raw food products)
- No hazardous chemicals required (e.g. phenol or chloroform)
- Effective lysis with Proteinase K and optional lysozyme treatment
- Fast (less than 15 minutes hands-on time) and convenient processing using a rapid spin-column format
- Wide compatibility with a variety of food products for GMO-DNA isolation
- Universal protocol for food related pathogen DNA isolation (Gram positive and Gram negative)
This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the isolation and purification of total DNA from a wide range of food samples originating from animals or plants. The kit is designed for identification of GMO-DNA or animal components in food and feed and can be used for a wide range of starting materials including raw or processed food, meat, liquids, sauces and dairy products including milk, cheese and yogurt.
This kit also provides a convenient method for the detection of food-related pathogens and will isolate such DNA (enriched or as is) including Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungi which may contaminate food sources. A number of pathogens have been tested including E. coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica & Campylobacter jejuni. The purified DNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including PCR based detection, sequencing and genotyping.
