SampleIN™ Lysis Set for PCR/qPCR
SampleIN™ Lysis Set for PCR/qPCR

SampleIN™ Lysis Set for PCR/qPCR is a combination of a lysis buffer and protease-containing buffer allowing for a fast lysis of different sample material to release the DNA in a short time.SampleIN™ Lysis Set for PCR/qPCR is a part of our SampleIN™ Direct PCR Kit. SampleIN™ Direct PCR Kit includes two modules: Two Lysis/Protease Buffers (Lysis Set for PCR/qPCR) and Hot Start PCR Master Mix.The quickly lysed samples contain enough DNA for PCR and qPCR/RT-qPCR applications, eliminating the need of tedious template purification. The set is used to prepare templates for direct PCR or qPCR from mouse tail or ear, mammalian tissues, hair follicle, buccal swabs and blood. It can also be used with some plant materials, if these are not considered as very oily, hard or difficult to lyse. Rapid 15 min DNA extraction using DPK Lysis and Protease Buffers in a single tube generates crude PCR template extract which can be further amplified using inhibitor resistant, robust PCR or qPCR mixes such as ALLin™ HS Red Taq Mastermix, or SampleIN™ qPCR Probe Mixes.More information:How to perform direct or crude sample PCR, qPCR and RT-qPCRUsing clinical or environmental samples without nucleic acids extraction.Why direct PCR is not always working?Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and reverse transcription qPCR (RT-qPCR) are fast techniques enabling detection and quantification of pathogens and nucleic acids. Direct amplification from crude samples avoids tedious extraction, but crude samples often contain natural PCR inhibitors that reduce efficiency, yield and reproducibility.Short sample lysis combined with a swift protease digestion (for example using highQu SampleIN™ Lysis Set for PCR/qPCR) generates PCR/qPCR-ready templates.
