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