The PowerPlant® Pro DNA Isolation Kit is designed for fast and easy purification of genomic DNA from plant cells, tissues and seeds. The optimized bead beating technology replaces time-consuming DNA isolation procedures such as CTAB, phenol, or chloroform extraction for recovery of high quality DNA from the toughest sample types, including strawberry leaf, cotton leaf, cotton seeds, and pine needles. Patented Inhibitor Removal Technology® (IRT) is used for removal of PCR inhibitors from plant extracts during the isolation process, resulting in pure DNA that is ready to use in downstream applications including PCR, QPCR and sequencing. In addition, a unique Phenolic Separation Solution (PSS) is included as an optional step for samples high in polyphenolic compounds, such as pine and grape leaf. PSS breaks the bond between DNA and phenolics, preventing loss of DNA during the IRT step and increasing DNA yield.
