Product Description
Automated microbiome workflows need an extraction chemistry that scales to full plates without leaving inhibitors behind. This 96-well magnetic bead kit isolates PCR-quality host and microbial DNA from fecal and soil samples in as little as 90 minutes, with inhibitor removal built right into the bead chemistry.
This listing is for catalog number D6012-FM: Quick-DNA Fecal/Soil Microbe 96 Magbead Kit. Samples from humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, and other animals are disrupted by bead beating with BashingBeads. DNA is then captured on Zymo MagBinding Beads that incorporate Zymo Research inhibitor removal technology, washed, and eluted. Output suits PCR, arrays, genotyping, and methylation detection. Several catalog configurations are offered, including a 2 x 96 prep kit, and automation scripts are available from Zymo Research. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Magnetic bead purification – MagBinding Beads enable plate-based, automatable processing.
- Built-in inhibitor removal – Bead chemistry incorporates inhibitor removal technology.
- Rapid processing – Can be completed in as little as 90 minutes.
- Bead beating lysis – BashingBeads disrupt fecal and soil samples efficiently.
- Automation support – Scripts and support are available from Zymo Research.
