Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in all eukaryotic cells. They are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. Their primary function is to produce ATP necessary for various cellular processes, including metabolism, growth, and movement. Dysfunction in mitochondria is associated with mitochondrial disorders including muscle weakness, fatigue, metabolic strokes, seizures, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, developmental or cognitive disabilities, diabetes mellitus etc. The Mitochondrial DNA Extraction Kit provides a simple, fast and reliable tool for isolating intact mitochondrial DNA from a variety of cells and tissue types without contamination from genomic DNA. The recovered mitochondrial DNA is compatible with various downstream applications including PCR, cloning etc.
