Product Description
Skip the vacuum filtration rig and still process large water volumes. This Zymo Research kit handles up to 50 mL of raw wastewater or a full liter of low-biomass water in one preparation, recovering DNA and RNA that are clean enough for the most sensitive quantitative and sequencing assays.
This listing is for catalog number R2044: Quick-DNA/RNA Water Kit, 50 Preps. A specialized Wastewater Stabilization Buffer concentrates viruses, microbes and free nucleic acids directly, removing the need for filtration equipment. Inhibitor removal technology then cleans up the extract so ddPCR, RT-qPCR and NGS perform reliably. The kit fits environmental monitoring, wastewater-based epidemiology and water quality programs. Each kit supports 50 preparations. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
Key Features
- Large-volume input – processes up to 50 mL raw wastewater or 1 L low-biomass water per prep.
- No vacuum filtration – Wastewater Stabilization Buffer concentrates targets without filtration hardware.
- Broad capture – concentrates viruses, microbes and free nucleic acids.
- Inhibitor removal – robust cleanup supports sensitive quantitative assays.
- DNA and RNA recovery – isolates both nucleic acid types for flexible analysis.
