Advance notice- no Orders week of 31st May-3rd June

Also- just a gentle reminder to think 2 or 3 weeks in advance regarding your/lab requirements- this will allow for some inevitable delays in recieving the order.

DNA extraction from Swabs?

Posted on May 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Helloooooo, I apologise that I am hijacking the blog from beyond the grave Baltic sea, but I given that the Mol Ecol lab is world renowned for it’s brilliance, innovation, brilliance, etc. I figured someone could help me.

Does anyone have experience of extracting DNA from swabs (buccal swabs, mucus swabs, etc.) cheaply and effectively? If there is a protocol available, or a particular kit which can be recommended, I would be extremely grateful.

You can contact me by email at susjoh@utu.fi, or by leaving a comment here – if I get a good answer then I can post it on the blog.

Missing the lab very much – has anyone beat Andy at Pétanque yet?

Susie.
