Easy enough for undergraduate success

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Undergraduate Lab exercises

Student learning is enhanced when they have real research experiences. Zymo's fecal/soil DNA miniprep kit allows me to bring modern microbiological questions into the lab with great success. The DNA prep is simple enough for an undergraduate to successfully perform and yields high quality DNA in sufficient quantity for PCR amplification and sequencing. This allows me to develop labs that explore the presence of specific organisms in environmental samples without having to culture risky bacteria.

An excellent and easy to use kit, I obtained high quantity of high quality DNA.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Analyze microbiomes from soil samples

I used this kit to extract DNA from soil in order to study its microbiome. This is a great and easy to use kit, the DNA obtained had a good quality, so it was suitable for NGS. The results was more than I expected. I highly recommend this kit if you want to perform this type of analysis.

Good alternative DNA extraction kit supplier with cheaper price compared to the brands considered "gold standard" and with comparable DNA yield and quality

Review Date: 19 Jun 2022 | Zymo Research

Very effective and easy to use

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Extract genomic DNA from fecal sample or gut contents

Very effective and easy to use, but I wish the kit came with bigger prep size.

Great results!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Plant soil microbiome analysis

This kit is perfect for soil microbe DNA isolation. It is straightforward, efficient, and results in very clean DNA preps!

Great Results; will not switch to another kit.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Agricultural Feed manufacturer

This kit is not only easy to use but the quantification of DNA extracted from each sample is very high and clean. We literally test this kit hand on hand with a Qiagen and the difference was extraordinary. New trainees learn the protocol Fast since it is very easy to read and follow; we have done over 20.000 isolations with this kit and will not look back. thank you

Great results for in-depth NGS studies.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Food science

We use this kit to extract DNA from complex food samples, thanks to the recommendation of some ZymoResearch lab managers. The time used was very short and also the quality of the DNA extracted was quite good. This has allowed us to carry out NGS studies and thus know the autochthonous microbiota of some matrices. It has been a success to use this kit for our study!

Great for gDNA extraction from fecal samples.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Extraction of bacterial gDNA from fecal samples

The kit is easy to use and the filters do not clog easily. The PCR products of the extracted gDNA are great because of removal of PCR inhibitors.

Review Date: 21 Jun 2021 | Zymo Research

It's the best.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Fecal bacterial gDNA isolation

The quality of PCR products after the use of the filters provided is very good.

Review Date: 15 Jun 2021 | Zymo Research

Great kit and great results.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Sediment/soil bacteria analysis

My students found it easy to use and follow the clear directions. High quality products were obtained as well. Will use again.

Quick-DNA™ Fecal/Soil Microbe Miniprep Kit is designed for the simple and rapid isolation of inhibitor-free, PCR-quality host cell and microbial DNA from a variety of sample sources including humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, etc. The procedure is easy and can be completed in minutes: fecal samples are rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead beating with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads™. Fast-Spin column technology is then used to isolate the DNA which is subsequently filtered to remove humic acids/polyphenols that can inhibit PCR. Eluted DNA is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, arrays, genotyping, methylation detection, etc.
