The assessment of DNA quality is a crucial first step in acquiring meaningful data from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, and other sources of damaged DNA. Using intact genomic DNA is key for successful analysis of chromosomal aberrations (e.g. SNP analysis
Mycoplasmas are potential contaminants in mammalian cell culture manufacturing. All products produced in cell culture to be tested for the presence of Mycoplasma
Long and accurate PCR applications address the needs for longer read lengths, greater fidelity and higher yields than that which can be achieved with Taq DNA polymerase.
Preserved samples from medical, forensic, museum and other archival collections represent a rich source of study material, much of it meticulously collected, characterized and preserved through many decades of work by experts in the field.
The Extract-N-Amp Blood PCR Kits contain all the reagents needed to rapidly extract and amplify human genomic DNA from whole blood, whole blood dried on a blood card, and cultured mammalian cells.
Forensic laboratories routinely use STR genotyping for identity testing of biological samples. However, forensic samples often contain low copy numbers of target DNA, making it difficult to obtain complete STR profiles.
The Extract-N-Amp™ kits are designed to rapidly extract and amplify genomic DNA. The plant tissue version of these kits has been optimized to amplify without concern over plant inhibitors. This technical document will discuss the versions of this kit that
Digital PCR (dPCR) is an end-point PCR method that is used for absolute quantification and for analysis of minority sequences against a background of similar majority sequences.
In addition to the troubleshooting provided in the product manual, most probably the efficiency of the tailing reaction performed by Terminal Transferase could be impaired. This could occur due to several reasons (which will not only affect the control reaction
Mass Spectrometry is the technology of choice for analyzing oligonucleotide synthesis. It enables the most sensitive detection of low levels of by-products, which can affect performance.
Extract-N-Amp is a versatile, combined DNA extraction and amplification kit intended to simplify the generation of PCR products from a range of sample types. This methodology can be used without modification to perform PCR on blood samples stored on FTA
Our scientists’ years of experience and Sigma-Aldrich’s access to multiple advanced gene editing technologies allow us to offer a cell engineering service with unparalleled success. We can engineer a variety of modifications in your cell line of choice to address
Standard methods for extracting DNA from tissues can be extremely laborious and time consuming. Certain applications, such as genotyping of transgenic mice using a section of tail, employ a lengthy DNA extraction process.
The Extract-N-Amp™ Tissue PCR Kit has been created to release PCR-ready DNA from mouse tails in a 15 minute single tube procedure. The included 2x PCR mix is optimized to work with the crude extracts and the solutions in the
