Accurate, precise, time-efficient, cost-effective, user-friendly experience.
Application Area:Accurate and contamination-free isolation of nucleic acids
"The DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit offers quick and simple silica-based DNA purification in spin column and 96-well plate formats. The majority of samples may be immediately lysed with Proteinase K, avoiding mechanical disruption and saving time on manual operations. Purification of high-quality DNA for applications such as life sciences, genotyping, and pathogen research in veterinary medicine is made possible by optimised methods for each sample type. I've personally used this kit in my research for detecting the minute quantity of porcine remains in complexed food samples, which needs to be further analyzed and sequenced through NGS."

Super kit for difficult samples
Application Area:DNA extraction of coral tissue
"We used the Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue kit for coral tissue. We often had difficulties with other extraction methods. There were often too many inhibitors in the eluate, which meant that the downstream processes such as PCR, qPCR and NGS did not work properly. But since we've been using Qiagen's slightly more expensive kit, we don't even have to dilute the DNAs unless too much genetic material has been extracted."

Great results can be obtained even for a first time user.
Application Area:Human blood sample DNA extraction for disease diagnosis.
"The DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (250) which has been sold by QIAGEN is an amazing product with high reproducibility. We started to use the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (250) in the year 2005 and until now we have not changed our purchasing decision for this kit. In my lab, we are purchasing at least five kits every month for diagnostic work and hope to increase the amount in the future. The ease of usage even for newcomers or students in the lab and high-quality DNA yield even with their first-time DNA extraction makes us confident to use this kit without any hesitation. I really love to see the usage of DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (250) in my lab. I highly recommend it for any scientist who need to perform high-quality research or diagnostic laboratory work requiring the extraction of DNA from blood or tissue samples."
