Description
PURPOSE
«ALPREP BTA» Lysis Buffer is an additional component for «ALPREP Forensic», «ALPREP Forensic Plus» & «ALPREP Forensic Auto» kits. There are several challenges during nucleic acids extraction from bone and dental tissues. It is related to the need for prolonged lysis and the presence of a high amount of contaminants that hinder subsequent DNA analysis. «ALPREP BTA» Lysis Buffer allows for inhibitor-free DNA extraction from complex matrices, such as dental and bone powder, as well as adhesive materials, in a short time (3 hours).
ASSAY PRINCIPLE
The principle of assay is based on disruption and solubilization of cell membranes due to the presence of detergents in the buffer. Inorganic components found in bones and teeth, including calcium, are removed from samples using chelating agents.
BIOMATERIAL FOR ANALYSIS
- Teeth (powder);
- Bone tissue samples;
- Adhesive materials (glue, cigarette butts, adhesive tape scraps, and envelope flaps).
ADVANTAGES
- Contains reagents that ensure the extraction of highly purified DNA from complex matrices;
- Minimal risk of contamination;
- Certified free from foreign DNA/RNA of various origins (including human DNA/RNA), DNase/RNase in a laboratory accredited to ISO 17025 standards;
- Reduces lysis time to 2-3 hours.
