ZR Soil Microbe DNA MicroPrep™ Kit

Designed for the simple and rapid isolation of humic-free, PCR-quality DNA from microbes in soil. This product can be used to isolate DNA from tough-to-lyse bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and algae that inhabit a variety of samples including clay, sandy, silty, peaty, chalky, and loamy soils. Soil microbes are rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead beating with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads™. Fast-Spin column technology is then used to isolate the DNA, which is subsequently filtered to remove humic acids/polyphenols that can inhibit PCR. The procedure can be performed in minutes, and there is no need for organic denaturants or proteinases.
