HMW DNA Isolation Workflow

1. Confirm the sample volume.
2. Add Proteinase K to lysis the cells.
3. Add Beads to bind DNA
4. Separate beads from contaminants.
5. Wash magnetic beads to remove contaminants.
6. Elute DNA from magnetic beads.

HMW DNA Isolation

Fig 1. HMW gDNA  were isolated from whole blood, saliva or cultured cell samples with AMD’s Auto-Mag® HMW DNA Isolation Kit. The isolated HMW DNA was analyzed  on Agilent’s TapeStation 2200.

Comparison of HMW DNA Purity & Yield

Figure 2. HMW Genomic DNA was extracted from 200 µl of whole blood using Auto-Mag® HMW DNA Isolation Kit and Competitor (M) HMW DNA Isolation Kit. Purity and concentration of DNA extracted by both kits was assessed using NanoDrop spectrophotometer. The measurements were determined in triplicate. The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess protein contamination while the ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 230 nm was used to assess the presence of contaminants. Both kits’ spectrophotometric measurements met the criteria for high quality DNA. In terms of determined recovery, Auto-Mag® HMW DNA Isolation Kit had a slightly better DNA yield compared to Competitor (M) kit.
