DNA Extraction


Overview

The UMGC offers DNA extraction using a wide range of commercially available kits, bead-beating methods, and homebrew protocols developed at the UMGC for high-throughput extraction in 96-well plate format.

We routinely extract DNA from the following tissue sources. If you have tissue not listed below, please contact us.

  • Whole Blood – The UMGC processes bulk whole blood samples for gDNA using a “salting out” method that has been in place at the UMN’s hospital clinic for two decades, and delivers very high yields.
  • Saliva – Oragene Collection kits
  • Buccal swabs
  • FTA filter paper
  • Plant and Animal Tissue
  • Environmental and Fecal
  • Cell Pellets
  • Bacteria

The assessment of DNA purity and concentration by UV spectroscopy (NanoDrop) and fluorimetry (PicoGreen quantification) is included in the price of most services.
