Product Description
Accurate bacterial input is critical when preparing NGS libraries or running metagenomic analyses, yet total DNA readings include host and other background DNA. This Zymo Research qPCR kit quantifies bacterial DNA specifically and sensitively, even in the presence of fungal, animal or plant DNA. It is well suited to low-biomass samples.
This listing is for catalog number E2006: Femto Bacterial DNA Quantification Kit, 100 Reactions. The assay reliably measures as little as 20 fg of bacterial DNA from 1 µl of purified material derived from biological fluids, bacterial cultures or environmental samples. Because it targets bacterial DNA rather than total nucleic acid, it gives a meaningful input value for library preparation and other quantitative workflows. The kit supplies premix and standards for 100 reactions. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Bacteria-specific – Quantifies bacterial DNA amid non-bacterial backgrounds.
- Femtogram sensitivity – Detects as little as 20 fg of DNA.
- Low input volume – Uses only 1 µl of purified DNA.
- Broad sample sources – Suits biological fluids, bacterial cultures and environmental DNA.
- NGS input accuracy – Supports precise template loading for library prep.
