foodproof® StarPrep One Kit by BIOTECON Diagnostics

The foodproof^® StarPrep One Kit is designed for the rapid preparation of DNA from Gram-negative bacteria like Salmonella or Enterobacter sakazakii for direct use in PCR. In less than 30 minutes, preparation with this Lysis Buffer yield PCR template DNA from 100 µl (for clear samples larger volumes can be used) of enrichment cultures. The obtained DNA can be used directly in any PCR application. The special Lysis Buffer eliminates the need for hazardous organic extractions or chaotropic agents. The entire DNA preparation can be performed in a single tube, minimizing handling steps and exposure to biohazardous material. The reduced number of handling steps results in time savings and, because transfer steps of DNA containing extracts are not necessary, the cross-contamination risks are minimized.
