For reliable whole genome amplification from human mitochondrial DNA in total DNA samples
The REPLI-g Mitochondrial DNA Kit provides specific and uniform whole genome amplification from human mitochondrial
DNA in total DNA samples. The simple procedure enriches for mitochondrial DNA with minimal contamination from nuclear
DNA, thus avoiding the need for time-consuming isolation of mitochondrial DNA and increasing the sensitivity of downstream
assays.
Benefits of the REPLI-g Mitochondrial DNA Kit include:
High sensitivity of downstream assays due to enrichment of mitochondrial DNA
Accurate and reproducible results even from small total DNA samples
Versatility suitable for human DNA isolated from various starting materials, including hair
Fast and easy protocol with all reagents included in the kit
Working with mitochondrial DNA
One limitation to the use of mitochondrial DNA has been the need to isolate
it from nuclear DNA, particularly in cases where the sensitivity of mitochondrial
DNA marker assays needs to be increased. The isolation procedure involves
many time-consuming steps and leads to substantial losses of mitochondrial
DNA. The REPLI-g Mitochondrial DNA Kit overcomes this limitation by enriching
for mitochondrial DNA sequences in total DNA samples.
High fidelity mitochondrial specific amplification
REPLI-g Mitochondrial DNA technology provides fast and highly uniform
DNA amplification across the entire mitochondrial genome. The method is
based on Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA) technology, which carries
out isothermal genome amplification utilizing a uniquely process
