Description
Blood PCR Kit has been used to extract DNA from genomes and dried blood spot samples. It has also been used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
The Extract-N-Amp™ Blood PCR Kits contain all of the reagents necessary to rapidly extract host genomic DNA from whole blood and amplify targets of interest by direct PCR. This novel extraction system eliminates the need for any type of purification, organic extraction, centrifugation, heating, filtration or alcohol precipitation. The kit also includes a PCR ReadyMix™, specially formulated for amplification directly from the extract. This formulation uses an antibody based hot start, for specific amplification.
Purchase of this product includes an immunity from suit under patents specified in the product insert to use only the amount purchased for the purchaser′s own internal research. No other patent rights (such as 5′ Nuclease Process patent rights) are conveyed expressly, by implication, or by estoppel. Further information on purchasing licenses may be obtained by contacting the Director of Licensing, Applied Biosystems, 850 Lincoln Centre Drive, Foster City, California 94404, USA.
Antibody licensed for in vitro research use under U.S. Patent No. 5,338,671 and 5,587,287, and corresponding patents in other countries.
Genomic DNA is extracted from 10 μ
l of whole blood by simply adding the Extraction Solution and incubating for 5 minutes at room temperature. The Neutralization Solution is added to the extract to counteract inhibitory substances prior to PCR. A portion of the DNA extract is then added to the specially formulated PCR ReadyMix.
