Product Description
Stool and soil carry humic acids and polyphenols that can wreck downstream PCR, and small extractions can miss rare community members. This Zymo Research midiprep kit processes larger fecal and soil inputs to deliver inhibitor-free, PCR-quality host and microbial DNA from humans, birds, rodents, cattle and other sources.
This listing is for catalog number D6110: Quick-DNA Fecal/Soil Microbe MidiPrep, 25 Preps. Samples are homogenized by bead beating with ultra-high density BashingBeads to open both easy and tough microbes. DNA is captured on Zymo-Spin columns and then passed through a filtration step that removes humic acids and polyphenols. The eluted DNA supports PCR, arrays, genotyping and methylation detection, with enough material per prep for multiple assays from 25 preps per kit. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Inhibitor-free DNA – A post-binding filtration step removes humic acids and polyphenols.
- Midiprep scale – Larger sample input improves representation of the microbial community.
- BashingBeads lysis – Ultra-high density beads disrupt diverse microbes in feces and soil.
- Host and microbial DNA – Recovers DNA from both the host and resident microbes.
- Broad downstream use – Suitable for PCR, arrays, genotyping and methylation detection.
