Optimize your microbiome research workflow with a gold standard sample prep solution

Microorganisms dominate the biosphere and carry out the majority of biochemical activity on the planet. Diverse and complex communities of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses inhabit earth’s many environments, from the human body to plants, as well as soil, oceans and even the atmosphere.

These microbiomes maintain the healthy function of the ecosystems they inhabit and their dysfunction is often associated with human disease, crop failure, and environmental disaster. Despite the variety of microorganisms out there, most of them have not yet been identified, and our understanding of the composition and function of microbiomes is still in its infancy. As a result, advancing microbiome research has become a major focus for many life sciences, environmental, and clinical researchers.

In this webinar, MP Biomedicals will explore a series of case studies that illustrate how to optimize sample preparation for a range of complex microbiome samples and will go on to discuss how the FastPrep System and FastDNA SPIN Kit for Soil are designed to enhance these methods.
