About the Event

The need for very high molecular weight (HMW) DNA is growing quickly as long read sequencing and other emerging long read technologies become increasingly popular. However, the extraction of HMW DNA has been a bottleneck for these applications, given the complex and lengthy workflows that often take several days to produce usable DNA. Faster methods have emerged, but lengthy protocols, low purity, difficulty dissolving the DNA and high prices remain significant challenges.  Here, we will present a novel approach to HMW DNA extraction that utilizes large glass beads and optimized buffer chemistry, resulting in a simple workflow that enables researchers to quickly purify high quality HMW DNA. The Monarch HMW DNA Extraction Kits can be used to extract highly-pure HMW DNA from cells, blood, tissue and bacteria in high yields for use in long read applications. The size of purified DNA ranges from 50 kb up to several megabases; size…
