Product Description
Seeing both who is present and what they are doing requires DNA and RNA from the same microbial sample. This Zymo Research kit purifies both from feces, soil, plants, water, biofilms and other inputs, delivering material ready for microbiome, metagenome and metatranscriptome analysis in one workflow.
This listing is for catalog number R2002: ZymoBIOMICS DNA/RNA Mini Kit, 50 Preps. The ZymoBIOMICS lysis system disrupts Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, protozoa and algae with comparable efficiency to avoid lysis bias, while the included DNA/RNA Shield preserves nucleic acids at ambient temperature for an accurate snapshot of the sample. Zymo-Spin columns yield DNA and total RNA, including small RNAs of 17 to 200 nt, free of inhibitors such as polyphenols, humic and fulvic acids. Each kit provides 50 preps. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- DNA and RNA together – Co-purifies both from a single sample.
- Unbiased lysis – Breaks open diverse microbes with comparable efficiency.
- Ambient preservation – Included DNA/RNA Shield stabilizes samples at room temperature.
- Inhibitor removal – Eliminates polyphenols, humic and fulvic acids.
- Diverse inputs – Handles feces, soil, plant, water and biofilm samples.
