Product Description
Vector-borne disease research means pulling pathogen nucleic acids from difficult samples such as mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. This Zymo Research kit purifies DNA and RNA from viruses, bacteria and protozoa carried in a wide range of vectors and animal tissues, including mammals and birds, collected and stored in DNA/RNA Shield.
This listing is for catalog number R1042: Quick-DNA/RNA Pathogen MiniPrep, 50 Preps. A combined storage and lysis buffer system prepares the sample, and optional high-density ZR BashingBead Lysis Tubes help fully homogenize hard-to-lyse material. DNA and RNA ranging from small molecules above 50 nt to large molecules above 200 kb are bound to Zymo-Spin IIC columns, washed and eluted for NGS, hybridization and RT-PCR detection. Available in 50 and 200 prep sizes. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your workflow moving.
Key Features
- Co-purifies DNA and RNA – Recovers both nucleic acids from viruses, bacteria and protozoa.
- Vector and tissue compatible – Suited to mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and mammal or bird tissue.
- DNA/RNA Shield integration – Works with samples collected and stored in Shield.
- Bead-beating option – Pairs with ZR BashingBead Lysis Tubes for tough samples.
- Wide size range – Captures small and large nucleic acids on Zymo-Spin IIC columns.
