Best Soil kit on the market

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

extracting from soil, sediment, wastewater

Been using these kits now for over 20 years and continue to be the best on the market. Ideal for extracting DNA from all types of environmental sample, soil, sediment and wastewater as well as bacterial biomass.

Review Date: 29 Jun 2023 | MP Biomedicals

Great yield

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

soil samples from field trials

As a frequent user of the kit, I can say yield is great!

Review Date: 29 Jun 2023 | MP Biomedicals

Very good results

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

environmental microbiology extracting nucleic acids for metabarcoding or whole genome sequencing

Reproducibility

Review Date: 24 Mar 2023 | MP Biomedicals

I have been using this kit for more than 15 years and quite happy with the results.

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Extract DNA from environmental samples

The product produces high yield of DNA from environmental samples. However, the quality of the DNA produces after following the manual is not very high. I modify the protocol by washing the column more than one time with the washing buffer and it gives better quality of DNA. I don't want to change to other kit for the same purpose. The only drawbacvk is that lide of recovery tube is not easy to close the tube with the column.

quality result

 

Average Rating 3.3

Application Area:

Extract DNA from soil sample

The reagent is simple to use. The quality of the extracted DNA is purer than other reagents.

Review Date: 1 Apr 2022 | MP Biomedicals

Great results. Easy to use. Reasonable price.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Extract genomic DNA from environmental soil and sludge samples

The protocol is clearly written with useful explanation of procedures. The reagents and supplies in the kit are nicely designed and are proven to be very efficient in extracting DNA from a variety type of samples.

Tested and approved.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

African soil biodiversity identification

This kit for soil DNA extraction is easy to use, effective, I have used it for several years with results that satisfy me perfectly.

Review Date: 7 Jan 2019 | MP Biomedicals

Whatever environmental samples we deal with, the kit is perfect for unusual samples.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Analyze environmental samples from the subsurface

Although we have "Complicated" samples due to elevated salinity with seemingly low amount of microbiota in subsurface samples, this kit was our success to extract sufficient genomic DNA from the samples.

Isolate Pure DNA from Cells Present in Soil or Other Environmental Samples!

  • Thorough lysis in seconds of any microorganism present in environmental samples.
  • Ready-to-use DNA for quantitative and qualitative characterization of microbial soil communities.
  • Excellent reproducibility for an optimum assay-to-assay consistency.
  • Total removal of humic acids and PCR inhibitors for a successful investigation of microbial diversity.

The FastDNA™ SPIN Kit for Soil is designed to efficiently isolate bacterial, fungal, plant and animal genomic DNA from soil and environmental samples. Up to 500 mg soil are processed by the FastPrep®-24 5G or and any bead beating homogenizers with the Lysing Matrix E tubes designed to efficiently lyse all microorganisms including difficult sources such as eubacterial spores and endospores, gram positive bacteria and yeast. The released DNA is purified by a silica-based spin filter method and is suitable for PCR and other downstream applications.
