DNA Extraction From Tissue
 | Obtaining high-quality, intact DNA is often the first and most critical step in many fundamental molecular biology applications, such as DNA cloning, sequencing, PCR, and electrophoresis. Isolating intact total DNA from tissue samples varies in difficulty with the physical and biochemical nature of the tissue. For example, many DNA extraction methods will work equally well for tissues such as liver, but fibrous tissues such as heart, fatty tissues such as brain, and nuclease-rich tissues like spleen present challenges for DNA isolation. We offer a wide range of Invitrogen® DNA extraction from tissue kits, plus the support you may need to get high yields of pure, intact DNA from almost any type of tissue. |
