BioChain's FFPE isolation kit is a unique product, with unique benefits and applications. It is not a true purification kit. Instead, it quantitatively releases both DNA and RNA from FFPE tissues, without extensive downstream purification. This kit uses a non-volatile, non-toxic reagent to de-paraffinize, and then employs enzymes to digest FFPE tissue. The tissue digests are then subjected to de-crosslinking of the DNA and RNA released from the tissue. When these tissue digests are diluted 1:2, they form a good template for PCR, qPCR, qRT-PCR and similar applications. Thus, this kit provides a simple way to release nucleic acids from FFPE tissue without risking the yield losses that can result from purification steps. The kit contains sufficient reagents for 100 FFPE tissue DNA extraction reactions.
