HCY™ Blood Direct PCR Kit

The HCY™ Blood Direct PCR Kit is a kit for direct PCR amplification of whole blood samples without the need for DNA purification or sample preparation. It can be used to directly amplify fresh, chilled (frozen) and commercially dried Whatman903® and FTA® blood stains containing conventional anticoagulants such as EDTA, heparin and citrate. The kits contain genetically engineered BloodDirect DNA Polymerase, which is highly resistant to PCR inhibitors in whole blood samples.

Uses
Direct PCR reaction of different types of whole blood samples.
Precautions
The recommended amount of blood template to be used is 10% of the total reaction volume, i.e. 5ul of whole blood is added to 50ul of reaction system;
Aspirate anticoagulated blood, blood clots should be avoided as much as possible;
The extension time is set at 30sec/kb, if it is less than 15sec, set 15sec can be used.
After the PCR reaction is completed, it is recommended that the reaction solution be centrifuged at 4000rpm (1000×g) for 1-3min to precipitate cellular debris, after which the supernatant is taken for downstream analysis.

Storage conditions
For long term storage, please store at -20℃ away from light. If frequent use is required, it can be divided and stored at 4℃, avoiding repeated freezing and thawing. After thawing, it should be mixed well to avoid generating a lot of air bubbles.
