liquid nitrogen (-170 C) which it freeze the tissue to become fragile to be a fine powder which increase the surface area of extraction, and the very low temperature prevent DNase activation
* the primary function of this step is to lyse the cells
Dish washing liquid helps to break down the cell membrane and release the DNA from the onion cells. It contains surfactants that disrupt the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, allowing the DNA to be released into the solution for extraction.
Use the usual extraction protocol for plants: grind, liquid-liquid extraction, salting out.
Maintaining the osmotic pressure to prevent the cell form bursting.
Dithiothreitol (DTT) is a reducing agent used in DNA extraction to break disulfide bonds in proteins, helping to denature and separate them from DNA. This helps to prevent protein contamination in DNA samples, ensuring the purity of isolated DNA.
2-propanol is used in DNA extraction to precipitate DNA from the mixture. When added to the sample, it causes the DNA molecules to come out of solution and form a visible clump that can be easily separated. This step allows for the separation and purification of DNA from other components in the sample.

chelating Mg2+
The function of lysis buffer in DNA extraction is to break down the cell membrane and nuclear envelope, releasing the DNA from the cell. This allows the DNA to be isolated and purified for further analysis.
Liquid detergent used in the genomic DNA extraction, emulsify plasma membrane and nuclear membrane promoting lysis. SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate) is an anionic detergent used in DNA extraction. It removes the positive ions from the proteins, due to this protein loses its conformation and gets destroyed thus the cell membrane gets damaged and cell gets broken.
In a DNA extraction, the purpose of a buffer is to solubilize DNA as well as RNA. Because of this, it prevents the DNA for degrading.
Use the usual extraction protocol for plants: grind, liquid-liquid extraction, salting out.
to remove excess phenol from DNA to remove excess phenol from DNA
EDTA is used in DNA extraction processes to chelate divalent cations, such as magnesium, which are necessary for the activity of DNases that can degrade DNA. By removing these cations, EDTA helps protect the DNA from degradation during the extraction process.
Chloroform is used in DNA extraction to separate the DNA from other cellular components. It is primarily used to remove proteins by denaturing them, allowing the DNA to be purified and collected in the aqueous phase of the extraction. Chloroform is a key reagent in the organic extraction step of DNA isolation procedures.
Triton X-100 is used as a lysis buffer for DNA separation.
Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, is used in DNA extraction to prevent DNA degradation by acting as an antioxidant. It helps to protect the DNA sample from damage caused by reactive oxygen species that can break down the DNA molecules. This ensures the integrity and stability of the DNA during the extraction process.
Phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol helps to separate proteins and lipids from DNA during extraction. Phenol denatures proteins, chloroform aids in partitioning DNA, while isoamyl alcohol prevents foaming. This combination allows for efficient extraction of DNA from biological samples.
