Phage DNA Isolation Kit | 46800

• Isolate high quality DNA from a broad variety of phage strains
• High yields of total DNA
• Fast and easy processing using a rapid spin-column format
• No phenol or chloroform extractions or cesium chloride banding required
• High yields of DNA recovered 3-15 µg DNA from 10⁶-10¹⁰ pfu/ mL of enriched phages

This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the purification of total DNA from a broad spectrum of bacteriophages propagated in bacteria grown in liquid cultures. The DNA is isolated without the use of phenol, chloroform or cesium chloride banding procedures. The spin-column based procedure is rapid and can be completed in less than 45 minutes. The kit is highly efficient for processing small volumes of phage supernatant (500 µL – 1 mL) and with the optional DNase and Proteinase K treatments phage DNA yields are maximized while host DNA contamination is minimized.  Purified total phage DNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), sequencing, cloning, Southern Blot and more.
