CTAB Extraction Buffer is a widely-used reagent used to isolate DNA from plant tissues.  Polysaccharides and polyphenols are problematic contaminants associated with DNA isolated from plants.  CTAB Extraction Buffer effectively eliminates polysaccharides and polyphenols by employing the cationic detergent CTAB (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide or cetyltrimethylammounium bromide), and the polyphenol binding agent, Polyvinylpyrrolidone.
