DNA Extraction From Cells
 | DNA extraction from cells is one of the most widely used molecular biology techniques. This has traditionally been a highly repetitive and labor-intensive procedure, requiring significant time investment, and often involving the use of toxic organic chemicals. Life Technologies has developed purification products that are optimized to provide DNA of maximum yield, purity, and integrity from cultured cells, including cell suspensions using several technology formats; organic extraction, silica spin columns, and magnetic beads. These options provide users with flexibility, throughput, and choice along both the product and price continuum. |
