Direct PCR from Blood Preserved on Whatman FTA and 903 Cards using Thermo Scientific Phusion Blood Direct PCR Kit
Paper cards are a popular method of storing blood due to their ease of use and long term stability at room temperature. However amplification of DNA directly from storage cards samples is particularly challenging due to PCR inhibitors present. With conventional DNA polymerases, a thorough washing protocol is required. This study demonstrates that Phusion Blood Direct PCR Kit allows amplification of DNA directly from blood stored on cards with no or very little pretreatment.
PCR-RFLP Directly from Blood Using Thermo Scientific Phusion Blood Direct PCR Kit
This application protocol describes how PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) assays can be performed from blood samples without DNA purification. The approach discussed allows for amplification of DNA directly from various starting materials such as blood, mouse ear and tail tissues, plants, and FFPE tissue samples; allowing for genotyping without DNA purification before PCR or digestion.
