Phire Plant Direct PCR Master Mix, 250 reactions - FAQs

Can I use frozen leaves with the Phire Plant Direct PCR Master Mix or Kit?

Yes, frozen (-20 degrees C and -70 degrees C), dried and fresh plant leaves can be used. We have succeeded in amplifying DNA directly from oak leaves stored at -20 degrees C for 10 years. However the highest amplification yields are achieved when using fresh samples.
