Automated DNA preparation from maize tissues and food samples suitable for real-time PCR detection of native genes

Abstract: There is an increasing need for high-throughput analyses of plants and food samples for the presence of specific DNA sequences, e.g. transgenic contaminations. We developed and optimized conditions for the automated isolation of DNA from several maize tissues and various edibles containing maize using the MagNA Pure LC system (Roche Applied Science). Our results show that the system provided is capable of isolating DNA from any tested source. Quantification of an endogenous gene by LightCycler real-time PCR re… Show more

“…Despite having low DNA yield and displaying faint smears in the gel images but having good purity overall, the MagNA Pure method seem to have amplified well in the screening stage. This is consistent with another study (Hahnen, Offermann, Meidl, Ruger, & Peterhansel, 2002) that also used the MagNA Pure LC purification system for DNA extraction from maize tissue and food samples where no DNA was visible in the gel image but samples were successfully amplified for all targets. This suggested that automated DNA preparation with Isolation Kit I which is actually optimized for the isolation of genomic DNA from mammalian whole blood and cultured cells allows extraction of good quality DNA from maize as well as highly processed feeds.…”

“…The ability to monitor the progress of the PCR in real time completely revolutionized the approach to PCRbased quantitation of DNA and RNA. Compared to other endpoint quantitation methods, real-time PCR offers a streamlined assay development, reproducible results, and a large dynamic range, and it has good specificity and sensitivity (22).…”

“…Binding and elution from silica has also become the procedure of choice for most nucleic acid extraction procedures (Smith et al 2003 ). In addition, many different commercial kits and automated procedures for food samples are currently available (Marmiroli et al 2008 ), although the automation is restricted nowadays to a limited number of food samples (Hahnen et al 2002 ). Several papers compare different extraction methods (Zimmermann et al 1998a ;Peano et al 2004 ).…”
