FAQs

What is the capacity of the spin columns in the DNAstorm™ kit? What is the typical yield?

The maximum capacity of the spin columns in the kit is similar to a standard miniprep column, about...

FAQs

Can I use the RNAstorm™ and DNAstorm™ kits to extract both RNA and DNA from the same sample?

Yes, the RNAStorm™ and DNAStorm™ FFPE kits may be used sequentially. The steps below will allow the protocol...

FAQs

Is there any contaminating RNA in the DNA obtained using the DNAstorm™ kit?

Contamination from RNA is eliminated by performing an optimized RNase digestion step immediately following the lysis step.

FAQs

Can DNA obtained using the DNAstorm™ kit be used in next-generation sequencing?

Yes. Good quality libraries can be obtained, providing that the DNA is sufficiently high quality.

FAQs

Why does my extracted DNA fail to amplify properly? I notice a lot of PCR inhibition and/or Ct values that make no sense.

PCR inhibition is often observed when high amounts of FFPE-extracted template DNA are used. The inhibition is not...
