The process of using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit typically involves the following steps:
1. Sample Lysis: Neonatal samples are lysed using a specific buffer to release DNA. 2. Binding DNA: The lysate is then passed through a spin column where DNA binds to a silica membrane. 3. Washing: Contaminants are removed through a series of wash steps. 4. Elution: Finally, pure DNA is eluted in a small volume of buffer, ready for downstream applications.
