The Quick-DNA Fecal/Soil Microbe Miniprep Kit is a fecal and soil DNA extraction kit designed for the simple and rapid isolation of inhibitor-free, PCR-quality host cell and microbial DNA from a variety of sample sources, including humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, etc. The procedure is easy and can be completed in minutes: fecal samples are rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead beating with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads. Zymo-Spin column technology is then used to isolate the DNA, which is subsequently filtered to remove humic acids/polyphenols that can inhibit PCR. Eluted DNA is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, arrays, genotyping, methylation detection, etc.
– Rapid method for the isolation of inhibitor-free, PCR-quality DNA from fecal samples in minutes, including from humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, etc.
– Ultra-high density BashingBeads are fracture resistant and chemically inert.
– Zymo-Spin column and unique filtration technologies effectively removes PCR inhibitors from the DNA product.
