New BiOstic^TM FFPE Tissue DNA Isolation Kit

MO BIO Laboratories has released a new product for extraction of DNA from formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue (FFPE Tissue).

The BiOsticTM FFPE Tissue DNA Isolation Kit uses a fast and safe method to directly melt the wax away from tissue without the use of solvents such as xylene to de-paraffinize the tissue. Higher DNA yield is achieved as a result of this gentle method.

Also the recovered DNA is pure and free from contaminants that can have an adverse effect on detection sensitivity and amplification efficiency. Genomic DNA extracted with the BiOsticTM FFPE Tissue DNA Isolation Kit can be used in real time PCR, SNP genotyping, and other genetic analysis methods.

For those who still prefer to de-wax using solvents, we recommend the BiOstic™ Paraffin Removal Reagent (cat# 12251-50), a non-hazardous, non-toxic alternative to xylene that can be used with the BiOstic™ FFPE Tissue DNA Isolation Kit.

The BiOsticTM FFPE Tissue DNA Isolation Kit, cat# 12250-50 is available in 50 prep or in a 2 prep sample size (cat# 12250-S). The BiOsticTM FFPE Tissue DNA Isolation Kit is sold for research only. For more information, go to the company article page.
