Application Note
Fast and efficient nucleic acid extraction from spinach using bead mill homogenization
Within agricultural and food studies, genomic analysis plays a large role in elucidating insights into genome modifications, breeding studies, pesticide resistance studies, and identification of plant species. Technologies and methods that can help labs optimize their workflows are valuable, especially if they lend themselves to the throughput, scale, and consistency in nucleic acid extractions for downstream assays, such as PCR or NGS. In this application note, bead mill homogenizers are identified as a robust solution for sample preparation of plant tissues such as spinach leaves, offering an efficient alternative for DNA and RNA extraction compared to time-consuming methods like enzymatic digestion, with resulting homogenates being suitable for downstream analysis.
