Easy to use and high quality results
Application Area: DNA preparation for Sanger sequencing
"The Zymo Quick-DNA™ Microprep provides fantastic results. I like how DNA can be eluted in very small volumes for maximum concentration."

You can’t go wrong with Quick-DNA Kits.
Application Area:Cells from culture
"Boasts one of the most detailed reports, as well as in-depth health reports. This brands have a great marketing team. Despite the great marketing, some of this companies have subpar services at best. These top-quality tests give you the best of both results. This company have true experts in the field of genetics."

I am impressed with ZymoBIOMICS DNA Microprep kit
Application Area:Environmental Microbiology/Microbial ecology
"It is great a kit, and I did a scientific review of the product in my paper. The kit was compared with a series of widely used soil DNA extraction kits, both from the perspective of cleanness and yield. It was the only kit that resulted in amplifiable DNA from a set of ancient, difficult peat and silt permafrost samples. We noticed that permafrost chemical parameters, age, and soil texture did not have an effect on decontamination efficacy; however, the permafrost type did influence DNA extraction. Based on these findings, we developed recommendations for permafrost researchers to acquire contaminant-free DNA from permafrost with low biomass. For more information, please refer to Saidi-Mehrabad et al., (2020). Optimization of subsampling, decontamination, and DNA extraction of difficult peat and silt permafrost samples."

Yields very consistent DNA concentrations and amplifiable DNA.
Application Area:Marine microbial ecology; microbiome research
"Our lab tested this product in an internal comparison of tissue swab samples for microbiome research. While this product yielded less total DNA than some of the other DNA extraction methods we are testing, it yield the best amplification success, which for our applications is really all we need. If we were going the shotgun sequencing route, I might recommend a different kit to yields more DNA. But, we are surely happy to see each one of our samples extracted using this kit amplifying beautifully, when that was not always the case for samples extracted using kits from other manufacturers."

Great value, accessible and easy to use. Recommended for class and research alike.
Application Area:Microbial community DNA profiles
"The product is extremely straightforward to use, thus ideal to work with students in the lab. We have obtained sufficient yield of quality DNA for microbial ecology studies. The price is unmatched by any other vendor. Overall, the quality and accessibility of Zymo products make it the to-go kits for labs that focus on student training and graduate research."

Simple, quick, and effective.
Application Area:Extract DNA for sequencing
"This product makes DNA extraction extremely quick and simple. Extraction was pure enough for our collaborators to sequence with reproducible results. Would highly recommend this product."

Great product, especially for low biomass samples.
Application Area:Genomics of marine protists and their symbionts
"Easy to use, equivalent to more expensive products, and I especially love the fact that you can elute in a tiny volume, excellent for low biomass samples where concentrating DNA is useful."

Easy to use with simple instructions.
Application Area:gDNA extraction from bacterial samples
"I use this kit to extract gDNA from bacterial samples for PCR amplification purposes. The kit is easy to use and instructions are simple to follow."
