Overview

• High yield and high purity DNA ready for any application
• Available in a variety of formats to properly suit your needs
• Compatible with blood collected on a variety of commercially available tubes

These kits allow for the isolation of DNA from the blood of various species, including humans and will recover genomic DNA, mitochondrial DNA, viral DNA and bacterial DNA. The purified DNA is of excellent quality and yield and completely compatible with any downstream application including PCR, qPCR and genotyping.

Blood DNA Isolation Mini Kit

Norgen’s Blood DNA Isolation Mini Kit is designed for the rapid preparation of DNA from up to 200 µL of whole blood using a rapid spin column protocol. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 30 minutes and each kit contains sufficient materials for 50 preparations.

Blood DNA Isolation Midi Kit

Norgen’s Blood DNA Isolation Kit is designed for the rapid spin column preparation of DNA from 0.3 to 2 mL volumes of whole blood. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 30 minutes, and each kit contains sufficient materials for 20 preparations.

Blood DNA Isolation Maxi Kit

This kit is designed for the rapid preparation of DNA from 3 mL up to 10 mL of whole blood. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 30 minutes.

Blood DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (High Throughput)

This kit provides a rapid method for the high-throughput isolation of DNA from up to 200 µL of whole blood. Fast and easy processing using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.

Blood DNA Isolation Kit (Magnetic Bead System)

Norgen’s Blood DNA Isolation Kit (Magnetic Bead System) is designed for the rapid preparation of genomic DNA from up to 200 µL of whole blood from various species, including human. Purification is based on magnetic beads as the separation matrix. Norgen’s magnetic beads bind DNA under optimized salt concentrations and releases the bound DNA under low salt and slightly alkali conditions. The genomic DNA is preferentially purified from other cellular proteinaceous components. Typical yields of genomic DNA will vary depending on the cell density of the blood sample. The purified genomic DNA is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with downstream applications including real-time PCR, NGS and microarray analysis.

Blood DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (High Throughput Magnetic Bead System)

96-well format for high throughput applications. Purification with the 96-well plates can be integrated with a robotic automation system.

Description 

The ExcelTaq™ Blood Direct DNA Polymerase is designed for amplifying targeted DNA directly from whole blood, eliminating the need for a lengthy DNA isolation process. ExcelTaq™ Blood Direct DNA Polymerase is highly tolerant in the presence of PCR interfering/ inhibiting substances in blood, such as IgG, hemoglobin, and lactoferrin. ExcelTaq™ Blood Direct DNA Polymerase is compatible with most anticoagulants, such as citrate, EDTA, and heparin (Fig. 1). The ExcelTaq™ Blood Direct DNA Polymerase includes a pair of Positive Control Primers (CCR5) that are compatible with primate blood samples.

Features

• 5’→3′ DNA polymerase activity
• No detectable 3’→5′ exonuclease (proofreading) activity
• Generates PCR products with 3′-dA overhangs
• Compatible with most anticoagulants 

Applications 

• Direct amplification of DNA from blood samples
• High throughput screening without DNA purification
• Suitable for multiplex PCR
