Mini amp dna kit

Manufactured by Qiagen

The Mini-Amp DNA kit is a laboratory equipment designed for the rapid and efficient extraction of DNA from a variety of sample types. It utilizes a straightforward protocol to isolate high-quality DNA suitable for downstream applications such as PCR, sequencing, and other molecular biology techniques.

DNA Methylation Profiling of Colorectal Cancer

The set of patients used in the current study consist of a subset of a larger collection of 2,203 samples from 2,101 unique donors (1,103 cases of CRC and 998 controls) that were profiled on the HumanMethylation450 array from Illumina15 (link). Lymphocyte pellets were extracted from whole blood using Ficoll-Paque PLUS (GE Healthcare). DNA was extracted from lymphocytes using phenol–chloroform or the Qiagen Mini-Amp DNA kit, except for 99 samples (90 cases, 9 controls), for which DNA was extracted from lymphoblastoid cell lines. We used 15 μl of DNA from all samples at concentrations averaging 90 ng/μl (20 ng/μl s.e.). DNA samples were bisulfite-converted using the EZ-96 DNA Methylation-Gold Kit (Zymo Research, Orange, CA); 4 μl of bisulfite-treated DNA was then analysed on the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip from Illumina according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
The OFCCR methylation data was deposited in dbGaP under the accession number phs000779.v1.p1.

DNA was extracted from lymphocytes using phenol–chloroform or the Qiagen Mini-Amp DNA kit, except for 99 samples (90 cases, 9 controls), for which DNA was extracted from lymphoblastoid cell lines. We used 15 μl of DNA from all samples at concentrations averaging 90 ng μl−1 (20 ng μl−1 s.e.). DNA samples were bisulfite-converted using the EZ-96 DNA Methylation-Gold Kit (Zymo Research, Orange, CA); 4 μl of bisulfite-treated DNA was then analysed on the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip from Illumina according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Except for the case/control status, the plating of the DNA samples was not based on any specific characteristics that they might share (for example, gender and age), effectively randomizing these factors on the arrays. Most cases and most controls were plated and processed separately, except for 125 cases that were matched to 125 controls on 125 rows of 36 arrays; for these samples, batch and position effects are controlled for by design.

Profiling HPV in Oral Cancer Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The archival samples from the cases reported to the Dental College within the duration of 2 years were selected. The samples were grouped into three groups, Group I-patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), Group II-patients with dysplasia (oral epithelial dysplasia), and Group III-control group included patients who had reported for impaction, the surrounding tissue was used in the study. The ethical clearance was obtained from the college ethical board. The samples were fixed in 4% formalin and paraffin embedded. A section of 40 μ thick was utilized for DNA extraction for each specimen. Care was taken to prevent contamination during tissue sectioning. New blades were used for each block. The area was cleaned with xylene between each block.
DNA was extracted with the Qiagen Mini-AMP DNA kit. The proteinase K incubation was done overnight at 56°C after discussion with the technical team to increase the yield from paraffin sections. The samples with adequate quantity of DNA were then amplified with a house keeping gene glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) the primer was selected such that the final amplicon size was small. The samples which were positive for the PCR amplification of GluDH was amplified for the E7 and E1 genes of HPV 16 and 18, respectively. The PCR amplifications were carried out in separate labs to prevent contamination [Table 1].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
