The blackPREP Rodent Tail DNA Kit has been specially optimized for isolating DNA from pieces of mouse and rat tails, guaranteeing extremely high yields in a very short period of time.
Like the well-proven innuPREP DNA Kits, blackPREP DNA Kits are likewise based on a reliable separation process using spin filter columns. In addition, the extraction process for pieces of rodent tails is completed in a maximum of 3 hours. Thanks to a highly efficient sample lysis step that eliminates the need for the traditional overnight lysis process.
