ZymoBIOMICS Spike-in Control II (Low Microbial Load)

Overview ZymoBIOMICS Spike-in Control II (Low Microbial Load) consists of three bacteria strains, Truepera radiovictrix, Imtechella halotolerans and Allobacillus halotolerans. When spiked into a microbial sample, this product will serve as an in situ positive control for DNA-sequencing-based microbiome measurements. Of the three chosen bacteria, Imtechella halotolerans is Gram-negative and Allobacillus halotolerans is Gram-positive. Truepera radiovictrix is resistant to lysozyme lysis and Read more…

ZymoBIOMICS Spike-in Control I (High Microbial Load)

Overview ZymoBIOMICS™ Spike-in Control I (High Microbial Load) consists of equal cell numbers of two bacteria strains, Imtechella halotolerans and Allobacillus halotolerans. When spiked into an unknown sample, this product will serve as an in situ positive control for DNA-sequencing-based (e.g. NGS-based) microbiome measurements. These two bacteria, Imtechella halotolerans (Gram-negative) and Allobacillus halotolerans (Gram-positive) represent different cell recalcitrance and can Read more…

ZymoBIOMICS Microbial Community Standard

Overview Microbial composition profiling techniques powered by Next-Generation sequencing are becoming routine in microbiomics and metagenomics studies. However, these analytical techniques can suffer from significant bias from collection to analysis. The ZymoBIOMICS Microbial Community Standard is designed to assess bias and errors in the extraction methods of a microbiomics workflow. Read more…

Quick-ITS Plus NGS Library Prep Kit

Overview The Quick-ITS Plus NGS Library Prep Kit is the fastest and simplest NGS library prep targeting the ITS region for high-throughput sequencing. The automation-friendly protocol utilizes a single qPCR/PCR for combined targeted amplification and barcode addition using specially designed primers. After pooling by equal volume, a single clean-up of the Read more…

Quick-16S NGS Library Prep Kit

Overview 16S rRNA sequencing is a routine technique for microbiome composition profiling. Compared to shotgun metagenomics sequencing, 16S rRNA sequencing is more cost-effective and more robust; it generally requires less input DNA and is less impacted by the presence of host DNA. However, 16S rRNA sequencing has its own challenges. Read more…
