remove, that would be on a different procedure Uses 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)
na. and 0.2M NaOH in the presence of Tris-
base, EDTA and glucose to break the cell
2.Tissue Sample wall
our tissue is filled with many nucleus, from DNA can be released by means of boiling
histology we have cuboidal cells (many with 8% sucrose, 8% triton X-100, Tris-
nucleus), we have squamous, and buffer and EDTA after lysozyme
transitional epithelium. treatment releases DNA and must be
precipitated with alcohol
★ Sample: Fresh, fresh frozen, Fresh
Usually from frozen-paraffin embedded
Histopath lab tissues (FFPE) Purification Method
the basic sequence: cell after isolation of nucleic acids, we have to

fresh and frozen); and strips away DNA associated
For embedded samples proteins
must be deparaffinized Uses high salt, low pH, and organic
first by soaking to xylene material such as phenol and
and rehydrate to chloroform to remove contaminations;
decreasing concentrations DNA is isolated and precipitated using
of ethanol ethanol or isopropanol in high salt
concentration leading to formation of
solid precipitate;
3. Microorganism
precipitated DNA is collected by

2. mRNA Isolation

where all genetic material is found
to isolate, we have to employ solid-phase
isolation
Uses matrix resin column or beads for
better yield of mRNA and some oligomers.
