Fassst DNA Releaser is a genomic DNA extraction system which can be used on fresh whole blood, cells, tissues, biopsy specimens and sputum.
Non-ionic detergents and hypotonic treatment lyse erythrocytes and leukocytes membranes, facilitating the accumulation of leukocytes-nuclei in the pellet. This treatment removes most of the cellular proteins and DNA is quickly released (in 15-20 mins) and partially purified. The DNA is partially fragmented so is ideal for PCR applications, but not for Southern blot or Sequencing.
