For Research Use Only (RUO)
Product Description
SHENTEK® Animal-derived Biomaterial Residual DNA Sample Preparation Kit uses magnetic particle separation technology to extract residual DNA from a broad range of animal-derived biomaterials. The kit is designed for efficient and reproducible recovery of residual DNA from complex sample matrices including extracellular matrix, collagen and bio-absorbable membranes. Extracted DNA is compatible with downstream residual DNA quantitation by qPCR or PicoGreen assays. The kit supports manual sample preparation and automated extraction using the rHCDpurify system. Reagents are supplied for 50 extractions. Intended for research use only.

- Flexible workflow: Supports manual extraction and high-throughput automated extraction on the rHCDpurify system.
- Included controls and reagents: Includes reagents and recommended controls (NCS, ERC) to assess recovery and contamination.
Applications
- Residual DNA quantitation in animal-derived biomaterials
- Quality control testing of collagen, extracellular matrix products and bio-absorbable membranes
- Preclinical / manufacturing residual DNA assessment
- Sample preparation for qPCR or fluorescence-based DNA assays (PicoGreen)
Kit Contents
Attention
• Read MSDS and wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eyewear, mask, lab coat).
• Add 20 mL anhydrous ethanol to Wash buffer A before first use; prepare Wash buffer B as 70% ethanol with ddH2O.
• Prepare Proteinase K digestion solution freshly; incubate samples at 55 °C for 60 min (adjust as needed).
• Do not add Yeast tRNA when using PicoGreen DNA quantitation.
• Resuspend magnetic particles thoroughly before use; avoid over-drying pellets—dry 30 s to 3 min depending on conditions.
• Centrifuge after vortexing to collect liquid from tube cap and walls before magnetic separation.
• Transfer eluate immediately after elution and perform downstream assays the same day to ensure accuracy.
• Store magnetic particles at 2–8 °C; cold-stored reagents (e.g., glycogen) should be kept at -20 °C.
