QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit

For high-throughput isolation of genomic, mitochondrial, and viral DNA from blood and related body fluids

Format and processing: 2 x 96-well plates processed by centrifugation
Sample sources: Fresh, frozen, and dried whole blood (with common anticoagulants such as citrate, EDTA, and heparin);* plasma; serum; buffy coat; bone marrow; lymphocytes; platelets; body fluids
Sample size: Up to 200 µl
Preparation time: 192 samples in 2¨C3 hours
Typical yield: 6 µg per 200 µl healthy whole blood
Elution volume: 50¨C200 µl

The QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit provides proven QIAamp technology in a convenient 96-well format for high-throughput purification needs. QIAamp 96 plates provide well-to-well uniformity in DNA recovery and purity (see figures "Sample Reproducibility" and "Reproducibility of Yield and Purity"). As many as 192 samples can be processed in 2¨C3 hours using the centrifugation-based procedure, yielding highly pure DNA in less than 1 minute per preparation. Even higher throughput can be achieved by staggering the procedure.

The QIAamp 96 spin procedure requires the deep rotor buckets of the QIAGEN 96-Well-Plate Centrifugation System to accommodate QIAamp 96 plates stacked on 96-well blocks.

Sample Reproducibility

Gel electrophoresis of 96 DNA preparations purified from a single sample of whole human blood using the QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit. End lanes contain lambda¨C HindIII markers.

Reproducibility of Yield and Purity

 A  DNA yields (in µg) and  B  purity of 96 preparations isolated from a single donor and purified using the QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit. Mean values and standard errors from ten such experiments are shown.
