Dipstick DNA Extraction Kit

This Dipstick DNA Extraction Kit provides a fast, simple solution for extracting and cleaning genomic DNA from tissue and solid samples.

Using a straightforward three-step protocol, this equipment-free method enables DNA amplification-ready samples in as little as 30 seconds, making it ideal for time-critical workflows.

Intended Use & Applications

The extracted DNA is suitable for PCR, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), and isothermal amplification techniques such as LAMP and RPA.

This method is best suited to samples that can be mechanically ground and is not recommended for applications requiring high DNA yield or total genomic DNA extraction.

Simple & Equipment-Free Operation

This kit eliminates the need for columns, centrifuges, or pipettes. DNA is released through manual grinding of the sample, captured using a cellulose-based filter paper dipstick, and cleaned with a single wash step to remove PCR inhibitors. The purified DNA can be transferred directly into a PCR reaction mix or stored for later use.

Reliable Alternative to Column-Based Extraction

With a low cost per sample, the Dipstick DNA Extraction method offers a dependable alternative to traditional column-based extraction techniques for tissue and solid samples that require inhibitor clean-up.

While it does not produce highly concentrated DNA, it delivers clean templates optimised for PCR-based downstream applications.
