Qiagen DNeasy Plant Pro Kit

Qiagen has launched the DNeasy Plant Pro Kit for extraction of high-quality DNA from varied plant samples. The new kit includes bead-beating technology for significantly higher sample disruption efficiency. Plant samples often contain high levels of secondary metabolites like polysaccharides, lipids, terpenes, or polyphenols, which are difficult to remove, Qiagen noted. To address this, the DNeasy kit also includes inhibitor removal technology to clean impurities from samples and release the DNA from masking by polyphenols.
