MP Biomedicals MagBeads FastDNA MaxPure Kit for Feces and Fecal Preservation Solution

Faecal samples are inherently complex, containing inhibitors such as bile salts, haem, polysaccharides and DSS that can interfere with DNA extraction and compromise downstream analyses. To overcome these challenges, MP Biomedicals has launched the MagBeads FastDNA MaxPure Kit for Feces, a magnetic bead-based solution engineered for high-purity DNA extraction from inhibitor-rich stool samples. The kit is designed to be beneficial to IBD Researchers working on DSS-treated faeces samples and any general users facing low recovery samples and challenging PCR inhibitors.

The kit is compatible with both manual workflows and automated platforms, including MPure-32, MPure-96 and MagFlex-96. Designed for demanding microbiome, qPCR and 16S workflows, MagBeads FastDNA MaxPure Kit for Feces is designed to deliver consistent, high-quality results.

Key features include: specialised in removing common stool inhibitors (eg, polysaccharides, haem, bile acids, humic acids, phenolics), releasing inhibitor-free DNA; works with 30–300 mg faecal input and produces gDNA suitable for applications such as PCR and sequencing; and fast and high-efficiency lysis using Lysing Matrix E with FastPrep, enabling complete lysis of host cells plus microbes.

DNA results can be further enhanced by using MP Biomedicals’ Fecal Preservation Solution. It is designed to help in stabilising genomic DNA in human and animal faecal samples, enabling safe ambient-temperature storage and transport prior to downstream DNA extraction and molecular testing.
