Principle

The NucleoSpin® DNA Insect

The NucleoSpin® DNA Insect kit is a new kit for the purification of genomic DNA from fresh, frozen, dried or ethanol preserved insect or crustacean samples. The isolated DNA is used for genotyping, sequencing or any other common application.
The NucleoSpin® DNA Insect kit utilizes NucleoSpin® Bead Tubes Type D (steel beads; included in kit) in combination with a common disruption device, e.g., MN Bead Tube Holder, or a swing mill in order to lyse different cell types and tissues within a single procedure. Alternative NucleoSpin® Bead Tubes can be ordered separately if needed.
