Extremely useful to clean up extracts before PCR or library construction! Recommended

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Purification of complex DNA extracts (e.g ancient DNA)

The OneStep™ PCR Inhibitor Removal Kit form Zymo is a great aid when working with complex and generally "dirty" DNA extracts. The usage is as simple an straight forward as it can be. Fast and accurate. The protocol and product description is great. I've recently started using it and I'm finding it extremely useful to clean up my extracts before library construction!

Great kit, should be used for every RNA extraction.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Remove inhibitors from peatland soil

It is very easy to use. The protocol explains for itself and the whole process takes less than 5 min. It removes the inhibitors effectively proved by DNase I digestion afterwards. The sales help a lot on building the RNA extraction pipeline with this kit and another kit also from Zymo, RNA clean and concentrator. This is the best inhibitor removal kit I have ever used.

Great results; I have no need to try another brand

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Remove inhibitors from eDNA samples

We have never found inhibition in our samples after using the product. It is exceptionally easy to use in both the 96-well and single tube formats.

Worked well for murky, highly inhibited pond samples

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Environmental DNA

This product was very easy to use and made a big difference in our water samples from murky ephemeral ponds. We previously had issues getting consistent results due to large amounts of inhibition, and this seems to have taken care of that.

Provides the ability to father robust data!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

eDNA extraction cleanup

The Zymo OneStep PCR Inhibitor Removal Kit is a must for environmental DNA research. Our river systems are full of inhibitory substances that will inhibit PCR, or worse contribute to false negative results. This kit has drastically improved my eDNA research capabilities!

Amazing, affordable, and essential.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Removing PCR inhibitors from DNA extraction

The PCR inhibitor removal kit is essential for some of the extractions we do on seaweeds. Our PCR products don’t work sometimes without this, so if you have samples with lots of secondary metabolites- like seaweeds, and the extraction kits used do not implement it already- you must get this.

Not worth the time or money.

 

Average Rating 3.3

Application Area:

Clean up RNA for qPCR

I tried using these PCR clean-up columns three times, with three samples each time. Each time, at least one of the columns failed during the first step where you run prep buffer through them. The material in the column would end up in the collection tube instead of forming the filter. I ended up using 4 or 5 columns for three samples each time. This step is also a 3-minute spin which adds up when two of them fail in a row and you are already pressed for time. The columns did relieve a bit of PCR inhibition, but were no more effective than simply diluting my samples (a much quicker and cheaper solution).

Super quick and simple to use.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Remove inhibitors from DNA template for downstream PCR use

This product is super easy to use and the process is very quick. That's especially nice with a high volume of samples, which we have. We used this cleanup kit on DNA samples with poor 260/280 ratios, and it did help to improve that ratio.

Quick and effective.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Metabarcoding

Successfully removed all PCR inhibitors from complex biological matrix containing plenty of sugars.

Review Date: 3 Dec 2020 | Zymo Research

Removes inhibitors, retains yield.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Environmental DNA (eDNA)

Environmental DNA is full of inhibitors but working on a rare species means that nucleic acid retention is really important. These columns are effective in removing inhibitors while also retaining yield more effectively than silica clean up columns. The protocol is less involved, saving time, and uses less harsh chemicals, reducing exposure. I also really appreciate that Zymo offer sample kits for their products, this has really helped me in the important optimisation stages of my workflows.

The OneStep™ PCR Inhibitor Removal Kit contains all the components needed for efficient removal of contaminants that can inhibit downstream enzymatic reactions (e.g. PCR and RT) from DNA and RNA preparations. The column matrices have been specifically designed for the efficient removal of polyphenolic compounds, humic/fulvic acids, tannins, melanin, etc. from the most impure DNA and RNA preparations. Sample clean-up is as simple as applying, spinning, and recovering a sample from the column.
