Plant DNA Maxi Kit

The Plant DNA Maxi Kit offers a high-capacity workflow engineered for extracting high-quality genomic DNA from large quantities of plant material (typically up to ~1 g fresh weight or ~0.2 g dry weight) including leaves, roots, seeds, or woody tissue. The process begins with mechanical disruption (e.g., grinding in liquid nitrogen) followed by chemical lysis and RNA removal, then selective binding of DNA to a maxi-spin column or magnetic-bead matrix with a binding capacity of up to ~500 μg DNA. Rigorous wash steps eliminate polysaccharides, polyphenols and other plant-derived inhibitors, and the purified DNA is eluted in low-salt buffer or nuclease-free water. The resulting DNA is ready for demanding downstream applications such as restriction analysis, long-range PCR, genotyping, sequencing and advanced genomics workflows. The kit comprises high-capacity binding columns or beads, large-volume lysis and wash buffers, RNase A, elution buffer, collection tubes and a detailed user protocol. No phenol or chloroform extraction or ethanol precipitation is required—making this kit ideal for plant-science, biotechnology and large-scale genomics laboratories.
