Product Description
Long-read sequencing is only as good as the DNA going into it. This Zymo Research magnetic bead kit gives a straightforward route to high molecular weight genomic DNA, delivering pure, concentrated fragments up to 150 kb that are ready for Oxford Nanopore and PacBio SMRT sequencing without extra size selection.
This listing is for catalog number D6060: Quick-DNA HMW kit, 96 Preps. A unique magnetic bead binding system captures long DNA strands gently, reducing the shearing that column methods can cause. The kit accepts biological fluids, cultured cells and solid tissues, and its bead-based format fits easily onto magnetic racks or automated handlers. Each kit supports 96 preps. For microbiome samples, Zymo Research recommends its ZymoBIOMICS DNA kits instead. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
