The innuPREP Stool DNA Kit is suitable both for extracting bacterial DNA from stool samples as well as for isolating genomic DNA from sloughed off intestinal epithelial cells. The extraction process is based on sample lysis followed by a pre-filtration step to remove undissolved sample particles. The sample DNA is then bound to the surface of a Spin Filter membrane and washed, and the bound DNA is then desorbed from the surface of the Spin Filter column. The innuPREP Stool DNA Kit is also certified for in-vitro diagnostic use (CE-IVD) and makes it possible to purify high-quality, ready-to-use DNA for a variety of downstream applications.
