Product Description
Fungal cell walls and Gram-positive bacteria resist many lysis methods, which often leaves DNA yields disappointing. This miniprep kit uses high-density bead beating to break open difficult microbes quickly and then purifies DNA on a spin column, delivering template ready for PCR and arrays within minutes.
This listing is for catalog number D6005: Quick-DNA Fungal/Bacterial Miniprep Kit, 50 Preps. Samples are homogenized with BashingBeads, which mechanically disrupt organisms such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Neurospora crassa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, along with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, algae, and protozoa. DNA from the lysate is then bound, washed, and eluted from a Zymo-Spin column. The kit provides 50 preps. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Tough sample lysis – High-density BashingBeads disrupt fungi, yeast, and Gram-positive bacteria.
- Broad organism range – Handles fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, algae, and protozoa.
- Fast protocol – The full procedure can be completed in minutes.
- Spin column format – Zymo-Spin columns purify DNA in a miniprep format.
- PCR-ready DNA – Purified DNA suits PCR, arrays, and other molecular assays.
