Compare Genomic DNA Extraction Kits

We offer a range of genomic DNA extraction kits covering many sample types and throughput needs—from manual single-preps to small benchtop or large-scale automated systems. Explore the breadth of our DNA extraction portfolio to discover the right solution for your purification needs. 

Process Any Sample at Any Scale

Our wide range of genomic DNA extraction kits are grouped here by sample types, so you can easily find the best DNA extraction kit for your needs. Regardless of sample type, you can expect high yields and high quality DNA for use in your downstream applications.

Our products cover a variety of throughput options and processing methods, giving you flexible options. If you are looking to process less than 24 samples at a time, choose from our manual single-prep solutions. If you are looking for an automated solution, our cartridge-based kits for use with Maxwell® Instruments can process up to 48 samples in the same run. We also offer  kits designed for fully automated plate-based processing methods.

Manual Single-Prep Solutions Cartridge-Based
Solutions
Plate-Based
Solutions

Spin, vacuum, or magnetic based methods, typically for processing a few (<24) samples at a time.
