The LumiMAG genomic DNA Blood and Buccal Kit is designed for rapid and highly-efficient isolation of genomic DNA from whole blood and swabs using magnetic bead technology. The kit allows high performance when purifying DNA from a large number of samples. It is compatible with both automated platforms for nucleic acid purification and manual extraction using a magnetic rack. Genomic DNA extraction consists of two steps. First, the sample is prepared: the initial specimen is combined with magnetic beads and Proteinase K, and then with a lysis solution. In the following step, a series of washings and subsequent elution of DNA bound to the bead surface is performed with the use of an automated purification platform or a magnetic rack. Extracted DNA is free of proteins and other impurities. Magnetic bead-based DNA isolation using automated platforms allows high-throughput parallel processing of many samples, making it convenient to use, reducing hands-on time, and increasing results, reproducibility, and robustness. The isolated DNA is suitable for PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, Southern blotting, preparing samples for Sanger sequencing and NGS, etc.
