Overview
DNA extraction from blood using EDTA is a fundamental procedure in molecular diagnostics. At DNA Labs India, we provide this service at an affordable cost of INR 850, ensuring high-quality DNA for various applications including genetic disorder diagnosis, paternity testing, ancestry analysis, and pharmacogenomics. The use of EDTA tubes is critical as EDTA chelates calcium ions, preventing blood coagulation and preserving the integrity of white blood cells, which are the primary source of genomic DNA. Our laboratory follows stringent protocols to ensure contamination-free extraction, yielding DNA of high purity and concentration suitable for downstream applications like PCR, sequencing, and microarray analysis. With a turnaround time of 3-5 business days and free home sample collection across 200+ cities in India, we make genetic testing accessible and reliable. Our experienced team of geneticists and molecular biologists ensures accurate results, adhering to NABL and ISO standards. Whether for clinical diagnosis or research purposes, our DNA extraction service is a trusted choice for patients and healthcare providers alike.

The primary purpose of DNA extraction from blood is to isolate high-quality genomic DNA for genetic testing. This includes diagnosing inherited disorders, identifying mutations associated with diseases, determining paternity, and supporting personalized medicine. The extracted DNA can be used for various tests such as carrier screening, prenatal diagnosis, and oncology panels. By providing pure DNA, we enable accurate and reproducible results in downstream analyses, which are crucial for clinical decision-making.
