The kit provides a simple, rapid and efficient method for the extraction of genomic DNA
from blood spots. In the presence of high salt, DNA is bound to the surface of
silica-coated Magbeads. After rinsing, the high purity DNA is eluted in Buffer EB or
deionised water. The purified DNA is of good purity (A260/280 ratio between 1.7 and
1.9) and high integrity (>15 kb) and can be used for downstream experiments such as
second-generation sequencing, quantitative PCR and chip detection.
