The E-Z 384 Plant DNA HT Kit enables rapid and high–throughput isolation of genomic DNA from a wide variety of plant tissue samples. Up to 768 fresh, frozen, or dried plant tissue samples rich in polyphenols, polysaccharides or having a lower DNA content can be processed in approximately 1.5 hours when processing two plates in parallel. The system combines the reversible nucleic acid-binding properties of the HiBind® matrix with the speed and versatility of silica plate technology to eliminate polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and enzyme inhibitors from plant tissue lysates. The purification procedure relies on the well-established properties of the cationic detergent, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), in conjunction with a unique binding system to provide high-quality DNA. The system eliminates the need for chloroform extractions traditionally associated with CTAB-based lysis methods. The eluted DNA is inhibitor-free and ready for downstream applications such as genotyping, plant breeding, population level analyses, Next Generation Sequencing, PCR, and more.

Average Yield
Table 1. The average DNA yield from 2 leaf punches of each sample type extracted using the E-Z 384 Plant DNA HT Kit and eluted in 65 μL volume. The DNA yield was determined using Promega’s QuantiFluor® dsDNA system.
Average Ct Values
Figure 1. Average Ct values obtained amplifying the purified DNA from various plant samples using the E-Z 384 Plant DNA HT Kit. The ΔCt values were ~3.3, indicating high-quality DNA that is free of inhibitors.
Extraction Method Comparison
Figure 2. The average DNA yield from 2 leaf punches of canola leaves (n=10) extracted following centrifugation and vacuum protocols of the E-Z 384 Plant DNA HT Kit is shown on the left. The purified DNA is eluted in 65 ul volume and DNA yield was determined using Promega’s QuantiFluor®dsDNA System. The average Ct values were obtained amplifying the purified DNA (right). The ΔCt values were ~3.5, indicating high-quality DNA that is free of inhibitors.
