ZymoBIOMICS® Microbial Community Standard
  • Microbiome Standard: Mock microbial community of well-defined composition.
  • Identify Bias: Contains both tough-to-lyse and easy-to-lyse organisms.
  • Accurate Characterization: Ideal for validation, optimization, and quality control of complete microbiome workflows.
ZymoBIOMICS® Microbial Community DNA Standard
  • Microbiome DNA Standard: Eight bacteria and two yeast genomes.
  • Identify Bias in Library Prep Methods: The DNA has a wide GC range of 15% – 85%.
  • Accurate Composition: Ideal for validation, optimization, and quality control of microbiome workflows.

DNA from three Gram-negative bacteria, five Gram-positive bacteria, and two tough-to-lyse yeasts. The  ZymoBIOMICS® Microbial Community Standards are perfect for assessing bias in popular extraction methods. The  microbial standards are accurately characterized, with a wide GC range (15% – 85%) and contain negligible impurities  (< 0.01%), enabling easy exposure of artifacts, errors, and bias in microbiomics or metagenomic workflows.

ZymoBIOMICS® DNA Miniprep Kit
  • Microbiomics-grade DNA Extraction: Unbiased cellular lysis for accurate microbiome measurements and certified low bioburden.
  • Ultra-pure: Inhibitor-free DNA from any sample that is ready for qPCR, NGS, etc.
  • Simple 20 Minute Workflow: No precipitations or lengthy incubations.

The ZymoBIOMICS® DNA Miniprep Kit provides accurate  representation of the organisms extracted from the  ZymoBIOMICS® Microbial Community Standard.

Quick-DNA™ Fecal/Soil Microbe Miniprep Kit
  • Boost Your Detection: Included BashingBeads™ ensure complete lysis of tough-to-lyse samples.
  • Inhibitor-Free: Ready for qPCR, Next-Gen Sequencing, arrays, etc.
  • Simple Workflow: Lyse, purify on column, and filter to remove PCR inhibitors.

Higher Yields

High-quality total DNA was isolated from different environmental  sample sources using the Quick-DNA™ Fecal/Soil Microbe Kit  and compared against other suppliers. (A) Equivalent amounts  of feces were processed using each kit, then equal volumes of  eluted DNA were analyzed on a 0.8% (w/v) agarose gel stained  with EtBr. (B) Metagenomic DNA isolated from 5 soil samples.  M: 1 kb marker (NEB); 1-5: soil samples (sand, sandy clay loam,  hydrophobic sandy loam course, sandy loam, fine gravel).

Quick-16S™ NGS Library Prep Kit
Fastest 16S Library Prep

The Quick-16S™ NGS Library Prep Kit is >2.5 times faster than the  conventional 16S library prep method. The Quick-16S™ Kit simplifies the  16S library prep workflow by quantifying libraries using qPCR, instead  of TapeStation® analyses, and by using a single-tube library cleanup

Minimize PCR Chimera Formation

The Quick-16S™ NGS Library Prep Kit minimizes PCR chimera formation  compared to two common protocols: Human Microbiome Project  (HMP) and Earth Microbiome Project (EMP). Equivalent amounts of the  same fecal DNA sample were used as input. Chimeric sequences were  predicted with Uchime (https://www.drive5.com/uchime).

Best Phylogenetic Coverage

A.The Quick-16S™ Primer Set V1-V2 includes coverage of common human-  associated microbes, including Bifidobacterium, Propionibacterium, and Chlamydia,  which are missed in common V1-V2 or V1-V3 primers.

B.The Quick-16S™ Primer Set V3-V4 provides up to 87% coverage for archaea,  organisms commonly found in the human gut. The common V3-V4 primers provide  0% coverage for archaea.
