The kit has been designed to simplify isolation of Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) DNA from a variety of solid tumors and tissue types.

Key Points: 
  • The kit has been designed to simplify isolation of Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) DNA from a variety of solid tumors and tissue types.
  • The new kit was successfully validated on a wide variety of tumors and tissues (bladder, lung, liver, kidney, colon, breast, prostate,brain, thyroid,ovary, testes and uterus).
  • DNA isolated with the kit is of unprecedented length, resulting in isolation of molecules up to megabase lengths.
  • By making the DNA isolation simpler, faster, and less expensive, we enable the routine analysis of solid tumors.
