Product Description
Plant material is notorious for carrying polysaccharides, polyphenols and tannins that stall PCR. This Zymo Research miniprep kit is built to deliver clean, inhibitor-free DNA from leaves, stems, buds, flowers, fruit and even hard seeds, giving plant scientists and breeders reliable template without lengthy CTAB extractions or phenol chemistry.
This listing is for catalog number D6020: Quick-DNA Plant/Seed Miniprep Kit, 50 Preps. Tissue is homogenized by bead beating with ultra-high density BashingBeads, which handles fibrous and woody samples quickly. The lysate is then purified on Zymo-Spin columns that strip away lipids, polysaccharides and polyphenolic compounds before the DNA is eluted. The result is PCR-quality DNA suited to genotyping, marker work and array-based analysis, prepared in a straightforward spin-column workflow for 50 samples. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Inhibitor removal – Clears polysaccharides, lipids and polyphenols or tannins that commonly interfere with PCR.
- Bead beating lysis – Ultra-high density BashingBeads disrupt tough plant tissues and seeds quickly.
- Broad plant compatibility – Accepts leaves, stems, buds, flowers, fruit and seeds.
- Spin-column format – Zymo-Spin columns provide a simple bind, wash and elute workflow.
- Downstream ready – Eluted DNA is suited for PCR and array applications.
