Blood DNA Extraction Kits: DNA Extract All Alternatives & Comparison

Both the Whole Blood gDNA and FFPE gDNA Isolation Kits complete the on-deck extraction in just 28 minutes, with a total workflow time of under 30 minutes for blood samples. FFPE samples require an additional lysis step before the 28-minute automated run begins on the Manta instrument.

Using a 200 µL blood input, the Cambrian Whole Blood gDNA Isolation Kit yields 6–15 ng/µL of high-purity genomic DNA with A260/280 ratios of 1.8–2.0 and A260/230 ratios of 2.0–2.2. This purity is suitable for demanding downstream applications including NGS, PCR, and microarrays.

Yes. Both kits are specifically designed to deliver high molecular weight genomic DNA compatible with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). The magnetic bead-based CamSelect Long™ technology ensures minimal fragmentation and high consistency, meeting the stringent input quality requirements of leading NGS platforms.

Yes. The pre-filled, single-use cartridge design means you only consume reagents for the samples being processed. Throughput ranges from 1 to 32 samples per run on the Manta instrument, so there is no batching pressure and no waste of buffers or plastics for low-volume sample runs.

Extracted DNA is compatible with NGS, PCR-based assays, microarray analysis, mutation analysis, and oncology studies. Applications span cancer research and diagnostics, reproductive genetics, infectious disease testing, genetic counseling, pharmacogenomics, and clinical translational research workflows.

Yes. Cambrian Bioworks holds ISO 13485 certification for quality management in medical device manufacturing, a CE-IVD mark under EU IVDR 2017/746, and a CDSCO IVD certification for the Indian market. These regulatory approvals make the kits suitable for use in certified clinical diagnostic laboratory settings.
