General description

KAPA Express Extract is a novel thermostable protease and buffer system that allows for the extraction of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-ready DNA in as little as 15 minutes. DNA extractions are conveniently performed in a single-tube thereby greatly reducing the risk of sample loss and contamination.
The combination of KAPA Express Extract and KAPA2G Robust HotStart® ReadyMix provides a high performance solution for rapid DNA extraction and consistent downstream amplification.

Application

KAPA Express Extract is ideally suited for the extraction of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-ready DNA from, but not limited to, the following sample types:
  • Human tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples; blood collected in EDTA tubes or on collection cards; buccal swabs; hair follicles; forensic samples; biopsies)
  • Animal samples (ear punches; tail clippings; hair follicles; blood; bone marrow; dried or fresh tissue from mouse and other mammals)
  • Fish tissues (fin punches; fresh tissue; cold and hot smoked canned samples; ethanol-preserved samples; embryo)
  • Insects (crushed)
  • Bird feathers (calamus fragments).
  • Nosema species

Features and Benefits

Key Features:
  • Rapid extraction protocol: PCR-ready DNA in 15 minutes.
  • Versatility: single kit optimized for successful extraction from a variety of tissue types, including buccal swabs, hair follicles, fish tissue, and bird feathers.
  • Single-tube reaction minimizes risk of contamination.
  • Produces high amounts of genomic DNA of good quality.
  • DNA extracted with KAPA Express Extract is compatible with any PCR system.

Increased PCR success from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples or tissues:
  • Rapid DNA extraction and consistent downstream amplification of challenging sample types.

Routine DNA extraction from blood sample types:
  • Efficient extraction from “Guthrie”cards, FTA Elute cards, and FTA cards.

Quick Notes:
  • Extract PCR-ready DNA from different tissue types in a quick and simple, single-tube protocol (15–20 min), without the need for hazardous chemicals or multiple washing steps.
  • Significantly reduced turnaround times and risk of sample loss and contamination.
  • Use 1 μL DNA extract per 25 μL PCR. Depending on the sample type, the extract may have to be diluted prior to PCR.
  • One extract typically yields a sufficient amount of template for 50–500 PCRs.
  • DNA extracts may be diluted in TE Buffer (1:5) or 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8–8.5 (1:5–1:10) for long-term storage at -20°C. Extracts are stable at -20°C for ≥6 months.
  • KAPA2G Robust HotStart® ReadyMix is recommended for consistent and reliable endpoint amplification of DNA extracts generated with KAPA Express Extract.
  • No quantification of DNA required prior to PCR.

Quality

All components contained with KAPA Express Extract Kits are subjected to stringent quality control tests, are free of contaminating exo- and endonuclease activities, and meet strict requirements with respect to DNA contamination.

Preparation Note

Handling:
KAPA2G Robust HotStart ReadyMix may not freeze solidly, even when stored at -20°C. This will not affect the shelf-life of the product. Always ensure that the product has been fully thawed and mixed before use.

Aims/Hypothesis: Galectin 3 appears to play a proinflammatory role in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Also, there is evidence that galectin 3 plays a role in both type-1 and type-2 diabetes. During obesity, hematopoietic cell-derived galectin 3 induces insulin resistance.
