The MagBeads FastDNA Kit for Feces allows quick and efficient isolation of high-quality genomic DNA from fresh or frozen human and animal feces in less than 60 minutes.
Samples are placed into Lysing Matrix E tube and used with FastPrep® Instruments from MP Biomedicals to effectively lyse host cells as well as bacteria, fungi, viruses, protists and other cells present in fecal samples within 40 seconds. The kit is also compatible with most of the automated nucleic acid extraction instruments on the market or it can be operated manually. It consists of specially formulated reagents to eliminate humic acid, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds and enzyme inhibitors from feces and thus allow extraction of highly pure genomic DNA ready for PCR, restriction digestion, electrophoresis and other desired applications.
Exploring the world of microbiomes – Insights of state-of-the-art solutions for metagenomic approaches
To explore the natural microbial community of any ecosystem by high-resolution molecular approaches, it is extremely important to develop sensitive and reproducible nucleic acid extraction methods that facilitate isolation of microbial DNA and RNA of sufficient purity and quantity.
Proper lysis of microbial cells without damaging their genomes is the first major challenge. Then, as a second step, isolation and extraction must yield high quality nucleic acid for subsequent metagenomic studies.
MP Biomedicals supplies a complete solution from sample grinding, cell lysis to nucleic acid extraction and purification.
In order to offer a ready-to-use, flexible and reliable solution for nucleic acid isolation, MP Biomedicals has developed a portfolio of FastPrep bead beating instruments together with a broad panel of Lysing Matrix tubes to grind and lyse thoroughly any sample type and built up a comprehensive range of organic-based, spin column-based as well as magnetic beads-based extraction kits for the isolation of high-quality DNA and RNA.
