Figure 2. DNA concentrations (ng/µl) resulting from the Thermo DNA extraction method following the bead beating of whole ticks.

Figure 2

Bead beating was carried out with each of the MP Bio lysing matrices (G, H, I, M, S, and Z). Nymphs were bisected and adult females were quadrisected. The DNA concentration was determined using the Qubit HS dsDNA Assay. Six nymphs and six adults were used in each bead beating treatment, while three nymphs and three adults were used in each cutting treatment. (A) Nymphs (B) Adult Females.
