Performance

Fig 1.Genomic DNA integrity, extract various sample types from blood、tissue、cell and bacteria. Gel electrophoresis shows the integrity of genomic DNA.

Fig 2. Gel electrophoresis of blood genomic DNA shows consistent results. The size and integrity among different results are the same.

Fig 3. No Cross-contamination to neighbor well. PCR templates are extracted from 200ul spiked plasmid(1x106, lane 1,3,5 and 7) and non template control(lane 2,4,6 and 8)
