DNA purification from plant materials plays a crucial role in various areas of plant research, including genomics, molecular biology, and genetic analysis that is essential for plant breeding and testing (e.g. GMO testing). The availability of high-quality DNA is essential for reliable results for a variety of applications including PCR, next generation sequencing, genotyping and chip technologies.

The sbeadex maxi plant kit is a comprehensive solution designed for extracting DNA from a wide range of plant species. This kit is optimised to efficiently extract and purify DNA from both fresh and lyophilized plant tissue material, including leaves, seeds, fruits, pulp, bark and roots. 

The Maxi Plant Kit is best for large-scale purification with a recommended starting material of 10-30 mg for lyophilized tissue or 40-120 mg for fresh tissue. The kit is ideal for labs and researchers with higher throughput requirements and the need for larger scale DNApurification.

The DNA purification protocol, especially post optimization with our sbeadex Plant Trial Kit, is easy to automate, allowing for seamless scaling up of sample processing using popular robotic platforms.

The sbeadex Technology 

This kit leverages the power of sbeadex magnetic bead technology. These superparamagnetic particles, coated with sbeadex surface chemistry, employ a novel two-bind / two wash mechanism that ensures effective removal of impurities from the sample matrix. The second wash buffer in the kit is ethanol-free, eliminating any traces of ethanol that could potentially inhibit downstream reactions. Additionally, the sbeadex technology eliminates the need for a drying step before elution, further enhancing DNA quality.  

sbeadex plant kits have been successfully used with:

Typical quantities of starting material are:

• 5-10 mg lyophilised tissue or 10-30 mg fresh tissue for the sbeadex Mini Plant DNA Purification Kit
• 10-30 mg lyophilised tissue or 40-120 mg fresh tissue for the sbeadex Maxi Plant DNA Purification Kit
