Synergy™ Plant DNA Extraction Kit

SYNERGY™ Plant DNA Extraction Kit features a proprietary chemistry combining a grinding/extraction matrix and buffer system that rapidly disrupts and removes contaminants from plant samples. The Kit is easy to use, requiring the user to simply add up to 50 mg plant tissue and 500 µl Plant Homogenization Buffer to 2 ml pre-filled Homogenization Tubes prior to bead beating.  The homogenate is centrifuged to pellet cell debris and contaminants (such as polyphenols and protein), leaving the DNA in the supernatant.  While this cleared lysate is suitable for many PCR applications, DNA can be further purified by alcohol precipitation, if necessary, for samples with very high levels of polyphenols.
