AMSBIO’s (Cambridge, Mass.) MagSi-DNA Vegetal kit enables efficient extraction of genomic DNA from plant tissue, bringing the convenience and cost-effectiveness of magnetic bead technology to the world of plant genomics. The kit combines two components that work synergistically to provide seamless and efficient capture of purified DNA from nearly all plant materials. Proprietary VG Lysis Buffer breaks down difficult plant specimens. Highly efficient magnetic bead technology is optimized to work together with the buffer. As a result, the MagSi-DNA Vegetal “bead-plus-buffer” system provides quantitative capture of plant DNA and efficient exclusion of difficult-to-remove plant compounds, including phenolics, carbohydrates and other plant chemicals.
