"I get a high concentration of DNA when I use Zymo Research Quick-DNA Miniprep Plus. I've used the kit since 2018 until now, I have already used the kit for more than 1000 samples.

The manual protocol of the kit is easy to follow, it's easy to use. The only problem that I get is contamination from RNA and protein, but since the sales distributor in Indonesia gave a helpful solution my problem is solved. So when I want to do DNA isolation from human (blood/tissue) samples I already know what kit I gonna use, absolutely Zymo Research Quick-DNA Miniprep Plus. On the very first try, I also got RNA and protein contamination in my sample, so I contact the sales distributor in Indonesia to get a solution to my problem, they respond to me very well and gave helpful solutions.

The Quick -DNA™ Miniprep Plus Kit is the easiest method for high yield total DNA extraction (e.g., genomic, plasmid, mitochondrial, viral) from any biological fluid, cell culture, or solid tissue sample. Innovative reagents and Zymo-Spin™ Column technologies allow for ultra-pure and concentrated genomic DNA ˃ 50 kb to be eluted in as little as 35 µl. Zymo-Spin™ Columns ensure no buffer retention. Purified DNA is RNA-free, bypassing the need for RNase A treatment and ensuring accurate quantification for applications like library preparations. Isolated DNA is suitable for immediate use in sensitive downstream applications including qPCR, DNA-seq, arrays, and methylation analysis.
