Abstract for the Wizard® Magnetic DNA Purification System for Food
The Wizard® Magnetic DNA Purification System for Food is designed
for purification of DNA from a variety of food samples including corn seeds,
cornmeal, soybeans, soy flour and soy milk. Processed food such as corn chips,
chocolate and chocolate-containing foods, lecithin and vegetable oils may also
be used with the appropriate optimized protocols. The DNA purified from these
samples can be used in PCR-based testing for Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)
DNA sequences.
The Wizard® Magnetic DNA Purification System for Food utilizes
MagneSil® Paramagnetic Particles (PMPs). Paramagnetic particles can be
considered a “mobile solid phase”. Unlike column-based systems, the binding
of nucleic acids to magnetic particles can occur in solution, resulting in
increased binding kinetics and binding efficiency. Particles can also be
completely resuspended during the wash steps of a purification protocol, thus
enhancing the contact with and removal of contaminants, which increases nucleic
acid purity. |
