DNA extraction lab documentation



whole blood taken into vacutainer tube (EDTA)



the start of mine and julian's blood being prepared.



purification starts with bursting blood cells



mixing various chemicals and biological liquids that further separate out the various organic components of the blood (cells, nucleatides, platelets)



spinning in a high speed centrifuge for 30 min



bottom of tube filled with separated nucleatides



DNA extracted from blood made visible during purification processes.



small containers for testing the extracted DNA



next step: DNA amplification
