Spin Column Based Saliva DNA Purification

DNA from Saliva Is Highly Pure, Despite Low A260/A230 Ratios

Health & Safety / /

Saliva samples in the spin column-based saliva DNA purification/extraction kit contain large amounts of carbohydrates (from the highly glycosylated protein mucin). Although the protein is removed during extraction, a small amount of this carbohydrate remains. Carbohydrates absorb very strongly at 230 nm, so even small amounts of carbohydrates can increase the 230 reading, resulting in […]

Process of Collecting Human Saliva to Find a Cure for Medical Treatment and Solve Human Medical Problems

Health & Safety / /

Historically, experts have always collected DNA from the blood. It is practical, efficient and time-tested. However, it’s chaos when you extract DNA from blood. Collecting blood samples from people can be tricky – not only is it time-consuming to get to a hospital or doctor (not to mention the needles!), but the costs of transport,
