QIAamp DNA Blood Mini QIAcube Kit

The QIAamp DNA Blood Mini QIAcube Kits yields DNA sized from 200 bp to 50 kb, depending on the age and storage of samples. The purified DNA performs well in a wide range of downstream applications, including long-range PCR amplification and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis used, for example, for paternity testing.

The QIAamp DNA Blood Mini QIAcube Kit includes rotor adapters that are preloaded with QIAamp spin columns and elution tubes, delivering greater convenience and time savings (see figure "Significant time savings"). Furthermore, ease of use is increased and user errors minimized. Waste is reduced, because the content of the dedicated kit is tailored for purification on the QIAcube and the superfluous tubes that are required for the manual procedure are not included.

The QIAamp DNA Blood Mini QIAcube Kit simplifies isolation of DNA from blood and related body fluids.

No phenol–chloroform extraction is required. DNA binds specifically to the QIAamp silica-gel membrane while contaminants pass through. PCR inhibitors, such as divalent cations and proteins, are completely removed in two efficient wash steps, leaving pure nucleic acid to be eluted in either water or a buffer provided with the kit. QIAamp DNA Blood technology yields genomic, mitochondrial, or viral DNA from blood and related body fluids, ready to use in PCR and blotting procedures.

The award-winning QIAcube uses advanced technology to process QIAGEN spin columns, enabling seamless integration of automated, low-throughput sample prep into laboratory workflows. All steps in the purification procedure are fully automated — up to 12 samples can be processed per run. The QIAcube used together with the dedicated QIAamp DNA Mini QIAcube Kit provides a winning combination for fast, easy, and convenient DNA purification.

The QIAamp DNA Blood Mini QIAcube Kit is for automated purification of genomic, mitochondrial, or viral DNA on the QIAcube. Sample sources include:

Human whole blood

Swabs and buccal cells
