The Genomic DNA Isolation Kit from Beckman Coulter is designed to isolate genomic DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. It uses a column-based method to purify DNA, removing cross-links, inhibitors, and contaminants. The kit includes a microtube pestle for lysing samples, Proteinase K for digestion, Lysis Buffer, Wash Buffers, Elution Buffer, and Spin Columns. It can process up to 4 x 25um sections per prep, yields up to 12 μg DNA per sample, and produces DNA ready for PCR, Southern blotting, and other applications. The streamlined procedure takes around 90 minutes.
