The 96-Well Genomic Plant DNA Kit provides an efficient method for isolating total DNA (genomic, mitochondrial, and chloroplast DNA) from plant tissue and cells. Samples are initially disrupted by grinding in liquid nitrogen, followed by lysate treatment with RNase A. The unique GR Buffer is able to lyse most common plant samples and also samples high in polysaccharides. DNA phenol extraction is not required and the entire procedure can be completed in 1.5 hours. The isolated total DNA is ready for use in PCR, Real-time PCR, Southern Blotting, mapping, and RFLP.

The Soil DNA Extraction Kit was designed for rapid isolation of genomic DNA from microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae in soil samples. The soil sample is homogenized and disrupted using SL1 lysis Buffer combined with ceramic beads. Insoluble particles, proteins and PCR inhibitors such as humic acid are then precipitated with a unique inhibitor removal Buffer (SL2). In addition, residual PCR inhibitors remaining in the clear supernatant are further removed by passing through a specialized PCR Inhibitor Removal Column. The flow-through is then mixed with a binding buffer (SL3) and the genomic DNA is bound by the GD Column. The column is then washed and the DNA is eluted with Elution Buffer. DNA phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation is not required and the entire procedure can be completed within 40 minutes. The purified genomic DNA is ready for use in PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, and sequencing reactions.

The Total RNA MINI and MAXI kits (Plant) provide a simple and fast method to isolate total RNA from plant tissue and cells. Samples are ground in liquid nitrogen and filtered to remove debris. In the presence of a binding buffer and chaotropic salt, the total RNA in the lysate binds to the glass fiber matrix of the spin column. The optional DNase treatments can remove DNA residues and the contaminants can be washed with an ethanol based wash buffer. Finally, the purified total RNA is eluted by RNase-free water. This protocol does not require phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation, and the entire procedure can be completed within 60 minutes. The purified total RNA is ready for RT, RT-PCR, Real Time PCR and northern blotting.

The rBAC Mini RNA Bacteria Kit was designed for total RNA purification from Gram (-) negative and Gram (+) positive bacteria. The provided Lysozyme and Bacteria Lysis Buffer will efficiently lyse bacterial cell walls consisting of the peptidoglycan layer. Detergents and chaotropic salt are used to further lyse cells and inactivate RNase while RNA is bound by the glass fiber matrix of the RNA spin column. Once any contaminants have been removed, using the Wash Buffer (containing ethanol), the purified total RNA is eluted by RNase-free Water and is ready for use in a variety of subsequent reactions.

Quality Control

IBI's Viral Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit was specifically designed for purification of viral DNA/RNA from cell-free samples; such as serum, plasma, body fluids and the supernatant of viral-infected cell cultures. These kits are recommended for parallel purification of viral DNA including HBV and CMV, as well as viral RNA including HCV, HIV and HTLV. The detection limit for certain viruses depends on the sensitivity of individual PCR or RT-PCR assays.

IBIs MIDI and MAXI plasmid kits use pre-packed ion-exchange resin columns to purify plasmid or cosmid DNA from bacterial cultures. In the process, the modified alkaline lysis method and RNase treatment are used for creating cleared cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA and RNA contaminants. Using a gravity-flow procedure, the plasmid DNA in crude lystate has been bound to the column. he contaminants can be washed off with a wash buffer. Finally, the purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a high salt buffer and then precipitated with isopropanol for desalting. The entire procedure can be completed in less than 2 hours and the obtained high purity plasmid DNA is suitable for transfection, sequencing reactions, PCR, and in-vitro transcription.
