The procedure is easy and can be completed in minutes: samples are rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead beating with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads. The DNA is then isolated and purified using our Zymo-Spin column technology and is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, array, genotyping, etc. The procedure is compatible with mammalian tissues, whole blood, and cultured cells.                                                                                         HIGHLIGHTS:
Simple and efficient isolation of DNA from insects, including mosquitoes, bees, lice, ticks, and D. melanogaster .
Compatible with tough-to-lyse tissues from other organisms.
