Ginseng leaf total RNA - Panax ginseng L. is a high-value medicinal plant widely used in functional food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical research. However, its tissue contains abundant secondary metabolites such as saponins, polysaccharides, and phenolic compounds, which often interfere with nucleic acid purification and reduce overall yield and purity. This makes it challenging to obtain high-quality DNA/RNA suitable for downstream genomic applications, particularly in high-throughput workflows where reproducibility and consistent performance are essential.
The GENTi™ Advanced Plant Kit is specifically designed for automated isolation of total nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) from plant tissues and is fully optimized for use with the GENTi™ 32 Advanced Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System. By combining a magnetic bead–based workflow with pre-validated protocols, the system enables reliable and efficient processing of up to 32 samples simultaneously while minimizing inhibitor carryover.
In this Application Note, total nucleic acid was extracted from Panax ginseng leaf tissue using the GENTi™ Advanced Plant Kit, followed by a comparison of extracts with or without DNase I treatment. The quality of the isolated nucleic acid was assessed based on yield, purity, and electrophoretic integrity to evaluate the suitability of the automated workflow for ginseng samples.
