Auto-Mag® Plant DNA CTAB Kit
Product Information
Auto-Mag® Plant DNA CTAB Kit is designed for reliable isolation of genomic DNA from a broad range of plant tissues. The optimized workflow combines CTAB-based lysis with magnetic bead–based DNA purification, providing effective disruption of plant material while reducing polysaccharides, polyphenols, proteins, salts, and other contaminants that can interfere with downstream molecular analysis.
Following sample homogenization and CTAB lysis, plant genomic DNA is captured using magnetic beads under optimized binding conditions. Subsequent wash steps remove residual contaminants, and purified DNA is eluted for immediate use in PCR, genotyping, sequencing, and other molecular biology applications.
The kit provides a practical alternative to conventional CTAB extraction by integrating the effectiveness of CTAB chemistry with the convenience and scalability of magnetic bead purification.
Features
- Optimized CTAB-Based Lysis
CTAB chemistry supports effective lysis and DNA recovery from diverse plant tissues, including samples containing complex plant-derived contaminants. - Broad Plant Sample Compatibility
Designed for DNA isolation from leaves, stems, roots, seeds, and other compatible plant tissues. - Effective Contaminant Removal
Optimized purification helps reduce polysaccharides, polyphenols, proteins, salts, and other compounds that may interfere with downstream enzymatic reactions. - High-Quality Genomic DNA
Magnetic bead–based capture and purification provide DNA suitable for a broad range of molecular biology applications. - Manual or Automated Processing
The magnetic bead purification steps can be adapted to manual and automated workflows.
