Quanta's Extracta sample preparation system is a system that can be scaled to process various amounts of solid tissue in a simple and fast single-tube procedure. DNA may be purified from many tissue types and is suitable for use in sensitive downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and High Resolution Melt Analysis.

The Extracta™ DNA prep for PCR consists of a two component reagent kit for rapid and efficient extraction of PCR-ready genomic DNA from mammalian tissues. The kit has been demonstrated to work with mouse tail biopsies, ear punches and a variety of human tissue samples including hair, buccal cells and saliva. The genomic DNA is suitable for sensitive downstream PCR applications including end-point PCR, High Resolution Melt Analysis (HRM) and quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) without requiring any additional clean-up. In addition, the extracted DNA may be used in multiplexed PCR applications such as transgene or knock-out analyses. Tissue extractions can be performed in tubes, plates or deep well blocks to allow for adaptation to workflow and automation on liquid handling workstations.
