ZyGEM's line of prepGEM™ products enables the laboratory to extract DNA from a variety of sources

PrepGEM™ PRODUCT OVERVIEW

prepGEM™ is been formulated for high-throughput DNA extraction from animal tissue samples. The prepGEM™ kits contain reagents that have been optimized for downstream, PCR-based applications including STR's, SNiPs, DNA sequencing, RFLP analysis etc.

The availability of simple DNA sample preparation methods is becoming increasingly important in fast-paced research settings, as the use of nucleic acid-based analyses continues to expand rapidly. Our prepGEM™ extraction technology, based on our proprietary EA1 enzyme, can extract high quality DNA from a broad range of sample materials in less than 20 minutes.

The extracted DNA can be used directly with analytical platforms based on PCR, quantitative PCR or capillary electrophoresis. Unlike most DNA preparation methods that require multiple steps and special handling, which increase the risk of error or contamination, ZyGEM’s DNA extraction technology uses a single tube and a simple two-step temperature cycle to prepare DNA for analysis, greatly reducing sample preparation time and the risk of sample contamination.

All prepGEM™ kits are formulated and QCed for animal testing, biosecurity and R&D applications.

prepGEM™ DNA EXTRACTION HAS MANY ADVANTAGES

Closed–tube (protects sample integrity)
Hands–off (saves labor costs)
One-step (maximizes yields and so decreases repeat rate)
Easily automated (compatible with most low cost, off-the-shelf liquid handling robots)
Proven on a range of animal samples including, Blood, Ear Tags, Insects, Rat tails, Fish Tails, Meat and Fish

ZyGEM DNA Extraction Kits are available in North America through VWR
