Two high-performance DNA extraction kits, suitable for a wide range of applications in soil and in faeces samples, are now available from MP Biomedicals.

The complex content of microbiome specimens can hinder scientists from getting sufficient yield and purity of DNA. With that in mind, MP Biomedicals has focused on optimising both the sample lysis and DNA isolation steps with the launch of two improved DNA kits: (1) the SPINeasy DNA Kit for Soil and (2) the MagBeads FastDNA Kit for Feces.

The SPINeasy DNA Kit for Soil employs spin column technology with proprietary buffers to protect the DNA from degradation. Improvement has also been made to remove inhibitors from difficult soil samples. Highlights include quick isolation of gDNA from soil in less than 30 min and specially formulated buffers to remove humic substances and other inhibitors.

The MagBeads FastDNA Kit for Feces allows high yield and quick isolation of genomic DNA from faecal samples. It is using magnetic beads technology with high binding capacity and selectivity for genomic DNA to isolate nucleic acids. Highlights include high yield and purity of DNA from various faecal samples. Using the magnetic bead procedure, turnover time is less than 60 min. Furthermore, the kit can be adapted to automated nucleic acid extraction instruments for high throughput processing.
