During nucleic acid extraction and purification, samples progress though a common set of manipulations: cell lysis, clearing, nucleic acid binding, washing and elution of the purified DNA or RNA.
During nucleic acid extraction and purification, samples progress though a common set of manipulations: cell lysis, clearing, nucleic acid binding, washing and elution of the purified DNA or RNA. The purity and yield of the extracted nucleic acid are key considerations for optimal performance in downstream applications such as PCR and sequencing.
