Blood Genomic DNA Miniprep Kit

This method is based on the efficient release of genomic DNA from anti-coagulated whole blood by a
special cell lysis, and heme/protein precipitation buffer coupled with the selective adsorption of the
genomic DNA to a special DNA-prepared column. The purified genomic DNA is eluted in a low-salt Tris
buffer containing 0.5 mM EDTA. Blood genomic DNA is directly isolated from the white blood cells
(WBC) component of whole blood, without the need to remove the red blood cell (RBC) in advance.
About up to 12 μg of genomic DNA from 200~250 μl of anti-coagulated whole blood, can be extracted
by this kit. This kit can also be used to extract DNA from dried blood. Viral DNA, viral RNA and
mitochondrial DNA are co-purified with the genomic DNA by this procedure.
