Insect gDNA kit simplifies isolation of genomic DNA from insects, arthropods, roundworms, flatworms etc. with spin column procedure. The method is suitable for fresh as well as frozen insect samples. Insects are ground using a mortar and pestle and are subjected to lysis by Proteinase K in a chaotropic salt solution. Following lysis is the binding of DNA to the silica gel membrane of the Spin Column to yield purified DNA. Two rapid wash steps remove trace salt and protein contaminants resulting in the elution of high quality DNA in the Elution Buffer
