DNA extraction from human hair using QIAamp DNA Mini Kit?

26 October 2018 1 1K Report

Does anone have experience using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit for the extraction of DNA from human hair? How much of starting material will be necessary. How is the pretreatment of the sample done before starting the procedure according to the kits manual by ading buffer AL? Which kind of buffer (including DTT and Proteinase K) are you using and do you heat during incubation?

Thanks a lot for your advice!
