The procedure is easy and can be completed in as little as 15 minutes: samples are added directly to a ZR BashingBead™ Lysis Tube (2.0 mm), then rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead, without using organic denaturants or proteinases. The DNA is isolated and purified using our Zymo-Spin™ Technology and is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, array, genotyping, etc. The procedure is compatible with mammalian tissues, whole blood,and cultured cells.
