Microbial & Environmental DNA Isolation

Environmental samples are notoriously challenging to extract high quality DNA from because of the presence of PCR inhibitors, hard to lyse cells, and low DNA content. Zymo Research has a robust selection of microbial and environmental DNA extraction kits for the rapid recovery of high-quality DNA from tough to lyse plants, bacteria, fungi, and insect tissue. Environmental samples are rapidly and completely lysed with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads, and the included OneStep PCR Inhibitor Removal Technology ensures successful PCR amplification and sequencing from inhibitor-rich samples like plants, soil, and wastewater. Recovered DNA is ideal for sensitive downstream applications such as PCR, arrays, and next-generation sequencing.
