The NucleoMag DNA Swab kit enables manual or automated purification of genomic DNA from swab specimens using proven NucleoMag magnetic bead technology. NucleoMag DNA Swab can isolate human and/or microbial gDNA from cotton swabs and synthetic swabs (e.g., flocked swabs). It is designed for isolation of gDNA from common epithelial surfaces, including dental, nasopharyngeal, and vaginal swabs as well as other samples including cigarette filters and dried blood spots. After sample lysis with Proteinase K, gDNA is purified from 300 µl of sample. The entire NucleoMag DNA Swab protocol can be automated on common liquid handling platforms.
