Use your lab’s existing thermocycler or liquid handler, choose the prepGEM Bacteria Kit, optimized to extract DNA from a broad range of bacterial sample types. The reagents are rigorously tested and QC’ed to guarantee them to be DNA-free. This kit produces single-stranded DNA suitable for PCR, qPCR, targeted sequencing (amplicon sequencing) from metagenomic samples, and 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing. Effortless, DNA extraction from a wide range of bacterial samples… in minutes not hours.
Exymes prepGEM Bacteria kit provides a simple automated approach to studying a wide range of microbial cultures. Every aspect of the MicroGEM method ensures the samples are processed quickly and gently. Minimal sample prep, closed tube processing, and gentle lysis ensure that cross contamination and DNA fragmentation are drastically reduced, making Exymes extraction process streamlined while preserving the integrity of low abundance species.
Sample types: colonies, biofilms, liquid cultures, sputum, swabs, soil & stool
