The Solar.® MAGNET Plant DNA Kit is designed for the manual purification of DNA from small amount of plant leaves, roots and seed tissues. This kit uses paramagnetic particles, considered as mobile solid phase. Unlike column-based systems, the binding of nucleic acids to magnetic particles occurs in solution, resulting in increased binding kinetics and binding efficiency. Particles are completely resuspended during the wash steps of the purification protocol. Thus enhancing contact with the wash buffer, the removal of contaminants, and increases nucleic acid purity. Purified DNA can be used in PCR as well as more demanding applications such as RAPD.
