I am looking for a reagent that makes the lysis of blood cells in order to improve the yield of DNA recovered by the use of total DNA extraction kit. Does anybody know this reagent ?

Hi Dr Faria,

You can use RBC lysis buffer for specific lysis of the RBC present in the blood (human), followed by centrifugation of the WBCs , resuspension in lysis buffer and DNA extraction.

You may refer to the methods section of the attached paper.

Best wishes,
