HiPurA® HP Fungal DNA Purification Kit provides a fast and easy method for purification of total DNA from fungus using the miniprep spin column. It is based on the advanced silica binding principle presented in a microspin format facilitating the binding, washing and elution steps thus enabling multiple samples to be processed simultaneously. It comprises of three steps viz. adsorption of DNA to the membrane, removal of residual contaminants and elution of pure genomic DNA. HP Fungal Extraction Buffer contains CTAB, a detergent used to break open cells and solubilize the contents. In this technique the sample is lysed and homogenized in a bead-beating step. Concentration of DNA can be estimated by agarose gel electrophoresis.
