3192 - Is QIAGEN Protease compatible with Buffer ATL?

QIAGEN Protease and QIAGEN Proteinase K offer broad substrate specificity with high activity for a wide range of reaction conditions. QIAGEN Proteinase K in 2 mL and 10 mL pack sizes is dedicated for use in various QIAGEN kits (please see list in the Principle section below). As a sample prep expert, QIAGEN also offers Proteinase K as lyophilized powder (Proteinase K Powder). Both proteases offer high activity in buffers commonly used in most DNA and RNA isolation procedures and are quality-guaranteed by QIAGEN.

DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kits quickly extract DNA using a silica-based, phenol- and chloroform-free process in spin-column and 96-well-plate formats. For most samples, direct lysis with proteinase K eliminates the need for mechanical disruption, reducing hands-on time. Tailored protocols for specific samples ensure consistent extraction of high-quality DNA, perfect for life science, genotyping, and veterinary pathogen research. Kits can be automated on QIAcube Connect. For a more sustainable alternative, the QIAwave DNA Blood & Tissue Kit, reduces plastic and cardboard usage by up to 62% and 58%, respectively. The kit includes waste tubes made from 100% recycled plastic, which can be reused throughout the procedure. QIAwave buffers are concentrated, decreasing plastic use in each bottle by up to 90%. Despite visual differences, the QIAwave Kit remains as user-friendly as the standard kit, with identical chemistry and performance. Note: Sterile glass bottles are required for buffer reconstitution. In partnership with My Green Lab, we've assessed the environmental impact of the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (50/250) and the QIAwave DNA Blood & Tissue Kit (50/250). My Green Lab ACT environmental impact factor labels aim to assess and rate products based on various sustainability criteria, including: Manufacturing Responsible chemical management Sustainable content within products and packaging materials Disposal of the packaging at the end of life Products are scored from 1 to 10 except for energy and water consumption, which are scored as 1 point per kWh or gallon, respectively. A low score means a lower environmental impact – see figures “DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit and QIAwave DNA Blood & Tissue Kit ACT environmental impact factor labels“  US ( 50/ 250),  EU ( 50/ 250) and  UK ( 50/ 250)."
