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 revealed that the DNA is suitable in quality and quantity for multiple PCR analyses.
