Direct PCR

I know that I shouldn't do any advertisement in here, but I just think this is a useful technique when I saw its ad on Nature.

Direct PCR – makes DNA purification irrelevant (Finnzymes)


Direct PCR eliminates the need for DNA extraction or sample preparation prior to PCR.

Would you like to amplify your target DNA fragment from the source material without prior DNA purification? Finnzymes’ robust PCR enzymes allow direct PCR from various starting materials saving time and costs and increasing sample throughput.

Finnzymes' Phusion and Phire DNA Polymerases, due to their unique structure, are highly robust and tolerant of many PCR inhibitors. This resilience provides efficient amplification from many difficult samples. Note that PCR from an unpurified starting material often requires more optimization than standard PCR reactions from purified DNA and may not always be suitable for all applications. So, please read these protocols carefully when planning your direct PCR experiments and contact us or your distributor with questions. We wish you the best of luck with this novel approach to PCR.
