Quanta's Extracta sample preparation system is a system that can be scaled to process various amounts of solid tissue in a simple and fast single-tube procedure. DNA may be purified from many tissue types and is suitable for use in sensitive downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and High Resolution Melt Analysis.

The Extracta? DNA prep for PCR consists of a two component reagent kit for rapid and efficient extraction of PCR-ready genomic DNA from mammalian tissues. The kit has been demonstrated to work with mouse tail biopsies, ear punches and a variety of human tissue samples including hair, buccal cells and saliva. The genomic DNA is suitable for sensitive downstream PCR applications including end-point PCR, High Resolution Melt Analysis (HRM) and quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) without requiring any additional clean-up. In addition, the extracted DNA may be used in multiplexed PCR applications such as transgene or knock-out analyses. Tissue extractions can be performed in tubes, plates or deep well blocks to allow for adaptation to workflow and automation on liquid handling workstations.
