The ParaPrep™ DNA Extraction Kits offer a comprehensive solution for purifying amplifiable DNA from challenging formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Utilizing a sophisticated two-step lysis process, this kit ensures high DNA extraction efficiency even from hard-to-lyse samples, maximizing DNA yields from limited inputs.
One notable feature of this kit is its innovative paraffin removal solution, which facilitates efficient deparaffinization without the need for xylene or similar solvents. This wash-free deparaffinization method minimizes the risk of sample loss, which can occur with traditional solvent-based deparaffinization techniques involving multiple wash steps.
Additionally, the ParaPrep™ DNA Extraction Kits offer an optional uracil-N-glycosylase (UNG) step, designed to remove deaminated cytosine artifacts. By reducing the incidence of C→T/G A transitions, commonly observed in FFPE samples due to cytosine deamination, this UNG treatment helps mitigate the risk of nucleotide read errors, particularly crucial for downstream applications such as next-generation sequencing (NGS).
Overall, the ParaPrep™ DNA Extraction Kits delivers high-quality, amplifiable DNA suitable for a wide range of molecular biology applications, including PCR, digital PCR (dPCR), and NGS. With optimized protocols, reliable performance, and the ability to process FFPE samples with ease, this kit represents a valuable tool for researchers working with challenging FFPE tissues.
