It is dangerous to touch electric circuit
E.Z.N.A commercial kit is one of the greatest innovations in molecular biology. It helps in the extraction and purification of nucleic, deoxyribonucleic, and ribonucleic acids. The extraction is of great importance to researchers who aim at utilising deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from a variety of sources. The kit can be used in extracting the two molecules from their origins. The sources include plant materials, animal tissue, and soil. In this paper, the researcher sought to investigate the effectiveness of using the kit for the purposes of optimising the extraction of DNA from marine soils. To this end, two variables were analysed. The first was the quality of the acid yielded, while the second was the quantity that was extracted. Disruption of the cells was needed to obtain the acid. Bead beating was the process used to achieve this. Gel electrophoresis was also used to check for DNA fragmentation following this disturbance process. The research proved that the kit improved the quality of the DNA produced. The quantity of the material within a given volume of soil sample also increased. The kit was found to effectively extract DNA from an 8 gram sample of soil. The effectiveness was not achieved when a sample of 4 grams was used.
