BuccalAmp™ DNA Extraction Kits are single-tube systems for rapid preparation of DNA from buccal (cheek) swab samples for use in PCR amplification assays.
BuccalAmp™ Kits incorporate a new QuickExtract™ DNA Extraction Solution, developed by Epicentre® scientists, that permits processing of samples using a simplified new protocol. The BuccalAmp™ QuickExtract™ Solution is pre-aliquoted into individual sample tubes. To obtain PCR-ready DNA, just rotate the buccal sample swab in one of these tubes, mix and heat. No centrifugation step is needed, so sample handling times are even shorter than for MasterAmp™ Buccal Swab DNA Extraction Kits. Thus, BuccalAmp™ Kits make it much easier to process one to hundreds of samples in less than an hour - without phenol, chloroform, or other toxic organic solvents.
DNA yields obtained using BuccalAmp™ Kits are higher than those obtained using the MasterAm™p Buccal Swab DNA Extraction Kit - ranging from 1-7µg of DNA per buccal sample. This is enough to perform about 100 PCR amplification assays. In addition, the new QuickExtract™ DNA Extraction Solutions, which are also available separately, improve PCR amplification of many templates.
BuccalAmp™ Kits include Catch-All™ Sample Collection Swabs - soft foam swabs on soft, flexible plastic handles. Catch-All™ Swabs provide gentle, safe buccal sample collection, even for infants, and the porous foam on these swabs catches more of the sample than buccal brushes.
Catch-All™ Swabs, also available separately, are provided individually packaged in sterile hard-pack plastic cylinders. After collecting the sample, return the sample swab to the cylinder package, for safe, secure storage and transport from the collection site to the analysis site.
