Food

For rapid isolation of genomic DNA from food and feed

Extracting DNA from food samples is not trivial because foods are highly heterogeneous and contain many different compounds, including fat, polysaccharides, and other item-specific chemistries that can lead to suboptimal extraction or inhibition of downstream DNA applications. Our NucleoSpin Food kits enable great recovery of even small fragments (< 1 kb) of genomic DNA out of processed, complex food matrices (e.g., ketchup or spices), which generally have very low DNA content as well as poor-quality, degraded DNA.
