prepGEM-Bacteria DNA Extraction Kit

Uncover the true diversity of your microbial samples with prepGEM Bacteria. This streamlined enzymatic kit is designed for efficient, high-quality DNA extraction from a vast array of microbial sources. Engineered for microbiologists and metagenomics researchers, this method combines gentle lysis with a closed-tube workflow to preserve DNA integrity and ensure accurate community representation, all in a fraction of the time of traditional methods.

Comprehensive Microbial and Metagenomic Profiling:

Efficiently extract DNA from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, protozoa, archaea, colonies, and liquid cultures. The kit is equally effective for complex samples like biofilms, mucosal swabs, and environmental matrices including soil, stool, and water. It is the ideal choice for metagenomic studies.

Preserves Integrity for Demanding Applications:

The gentle, temperature-driven enzymatic lysis uses a unique combination of thermophilic proteinase and mesophilic lysozyme to minimize DNA fragmentation. With no mechanical disruption or transfer steps, you obtain exceptionally intact, high-molecular-weight DNA that accurately represents low-abundance species. The resulting DNA is ready for PCR, qPCR, targeted amplicon sequencing such as 16S rDNA analysis, and other downstream applications.

A Rapid, Closed-System Workflow:

Dramatically accelerate your research with a process that is one-quarter the time of other methods. The fully enclosed, single-tube system eliminates cross-contamination, protects users from pathogens, and requires minimal hands-on time. This simplified, automation-ready workflow reduces pipetting, preserves sample integrity, and drastically cuts down on plastic waste.
