Context
DNA extraction from animal tissues and cultured cells is one of the most common techniques used in molecular biology laboratories. It is a critical step for biomolecular and genomic applications.
High quality and high yield DNA can be obtained from any type of tissue sample thanks to an optimal extraction process that relies on 2 steps: tissue homogenization and DNA purification. Finding the appropriate protocols for each one of these steps, and combining them to obtain the best out of any tissue sample is a mandatory milestone for most laboratories.
With its wide range of tissue homogenizers, Bertin Instruments addresses the first challenge of tissue disruption by using a powerful 3D bead-beating technology under the Precellys® brand. Bertin Bioreagent has thus developed a DNA extraction kit to complete the sample prep workflow resulting in the Precellys Tissue DNA Extraction Kit, a solution for all of your genomic applications.
In this Application Note, we present the results obtained using the Precellys Tissue DNA Extraction Kit for the extraction and purification of DNA from mouse liver and heart tissues, and how they compare to some of our competitors.
