FAQ-3212
3212 - What is the minimum size of DNA fragment that can be isolated with QIAamp DNA Mini kit?
Fragments of approximately 200 bp can be isolated with good recovery. Smaller fragments can also be isolated but the recovery will be reduced with decreasing fragment lengths.

QIAamp DNA Kits
QIAamp DNA Kits provide silica-membrane-based nucleic acid purification from tissues, swabs, CSF, blood, body fluids or washed cells from urine. In addition, genomic and mitochondrial DNA can be purified from small amounts of fresh or frozen blood, tissue and dried blood spots. Mechanical homogenization is not required as the tissues are lysed enzymatically. DNA purification from 1–12 samples can be automated on the QIAcube Connect using the dedicated QIAamp DNA Mini QIAcube Kit. Purification of DNA using the QIAamp DNA Micro Kit and QIAamp DNA Mini Kit is also automatable on the QIAcube Connect.
QIAamp DNA Mini standard protocols can also be executed using the TRACKMAN Connected system.
