Product Description
Pair microbial community composition with activity data from a single sample. This Zymo Research kit co-purifies high-quality DNA and total RNA, microRNAs included, using magnetic beads in a 96-well format, giving microbiome labs both metagenomic and metatranscriptomic material without a second extraction. That saves both sample material and processing time.
This listing is for catalog number R2136: ZymoBIOMICS 96 MagBead DNA/RNA Kit, 4 x 96 Preps. Samples are preserved in the included DNA/RNA Shield, which inactivates infectious agents and stabilizes nucleic acids at ambient temperature. Phenol-free magnetic bead chemistry binds, washes and releases DNA and RNA into 50 µl or more of ZymoBIOMICS DNase/RNase-Free Water, ready for sequencing or RT-qPCR. Automation scripts are available, and the kit is offered in 96- and 4 x 96-prep sizes. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
Key Features
- DNA and RNA from one sample – co-purifies both nucleic acids from the same starting material.
- Phenol-free – magnetic bead extraction avoids hazardous organic solvents.
- Sample stabilization – included DNA/RNA Shield inactivates infectious agents and allows ambient storage.
- Microbiome-grade water – elution in ZymoBIOMICS DNase/RNase-Free Water.
- Automation ready – 96-well format with scripts available for liquid handlers.
