DNA extraction from hair & buccal swab

Extracting DNA from hair follicles and buccal swabs provide a key starting point for many downstream applications. Performing PCR direct on hair also offers an animal-friendly method for genotyping.

Traditional extraction methods involve toxic chemicals and multiple steps, which can be inconvenient and time consuming. The advanced techniques now used in molecular biology often require quick extraction and analysis of DNA and our PCRBIO Rapid Extract range of products offer a rapid, low cost DNA extraction method without the need for columns or phenol. The kits work with a wide range of sample types and will get you from sample to PCR in as little as 15 minutes.

For an easy-to-use, all-in-one kit, the PCRBIO Rapid Extract PCR Kit combines rapid DNA extraction from hair with fast, highly specific DNA amplification to offer a simple, fast and animal-friendly genotyping approach that has minimum impact on the animal.
