In many labs, long incubations, repeated wash steps, and constant protocol adjustments are seen as an expected part of genomic DNA extraction. But they don’t have to be. Zymo Research’s Quick DNA™ and Quick DNA™ Plus kits are designed to eliminate these frustrations by making DNA purification fast, simple, and reliable.
Challenging steps you no longer need to accept
Traditional extraction workflows often slow you down because they include:
- Long or overnight incubations
- Multiple wash steps
- Extra tweaks to improve yield
Traditional protocols often contain over 30 pages, but Quick DNA kits remove these bottlenecks through a streamlined workflow that is efficient from start to finish.
Short hands on time: DNA purified in ~20 minutes
The Quick DNA workflow uses simplified binding and wash steps so you can extract DNA in approximately 20 minutes. No lengthy incubations, no additional protocol steps, and no complicated decision making during the process.
Zymo-Spin™ Technology ensures no carry over of buffers, salts, or PCR inhibitors, meaning high quality DNA faster, that’s suitable for even the most sensitive of downstream applications without further purification.
A simplified workflow that reduces errors
Quick DNA kits use a fast, linear protocol. This matters because:
- Fewer pipetting steps reduce user error
- Limited protocol decisions make training easier
- A consistent workflow lowers variability between users
With fewer opportunities for mistakes, results stay reproducible across operators and experiments.
One universal kit for nearly any sample type
The Quick DNA kits are designed to handle almost any sample you can bring into the lab, including:
- Culture cells
- Solid tissue
- Whole blood
- Saliva
Instead of buying multiple kits for different sample types, you can rely on one universal solution. This simplifies ordering, reduces storage needs, and creates a more efficient workflow. This also reduces training time, meaning switching sample types doesn’t have to mean taking time to learn a new protocol.
Faster extraction saves time downstream
Speeding up DNA extraction has a compound effect on the rest of your workflow:
- PCR can start sooner
- NGS library prep moves ahead without delays
- QC steps happen faster
- Instruments spend less time sitting idle
When DNA extraction isn’t a bottleneck, everything else flows more smoothly.
