Our go-to kit for DNA extraction from feces

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Extraction of bacterial gDNA from feces

Easy kit to use and gives good yields of DNA even from small sample input amounts. Bead beating provides efficient lysis of bacteria in feces. Worked beautifully for full-length (V1-V9) 16S sequencing on the Nanopore.

Review Date: 14 Mar 2023 | Zymo Research

Great kit! Great DNA! Great Results!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Preparing DNA samples for transfection

The kit gives high-quality DNA with a high yield. I like that I can elute my DNA in very small volumes of buffer since it allows me to have a high concentration of DNA. Overall, this is a great product.

Great result

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

DNA extraction

I used this product to extract DNA from water and from our plant samples. The quality were good and I had no problem with post processing.

Perfect extraction kit

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Microbiome studies

This kit has the most efficient lysis of all species with a very easy protocol. The unbias lysis provides credible data and doesn't risk the most expensive downstream analysis. Also have better price than the competition.

Need more work, but results are optimal

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Extract and purify DNA from bird blood

The kit is very effective in extracting DNA from bird blood. That kind of sample is quite hard to manipulate since only small volume can be processed at once. Instead, the presence of beads facilitates the rupture of cloths or similar aggregate, thus allowing the process of larger volumes. Therefore, the major problem of the kit (the need for long vortexing of sample with beads) becomes an advantage.

Quick and Easy with little to no inhibitor contamination

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Compost microbial community analysis (NGS)

I started using this product to extract DNA from vermicompost (high humic acid) samples. I ran test extractions of 100-300mg (wet) samples using DNA/RNA shield as a lysis reagent. All samples showed great 260/280 (~1.9) ratios and amplified very well. Overall the kit was easier and faster to use than powersoil kits. Zymo representatives have been very responsive and helpful with any questions regarding the kit.

The ZymoBIOMICS™ DNA Mini Kit is designed for purifying DNA from a wide array of sample inputs (e.g. feces, soil, water, and biofilms), that is immediately ready for microbiome or metagenome analyses.

The ZymoBIOMICS™ innovative lysis system eliminates bias associated with unequal lysis efficiencies of different organisms (e.g. Gram-negative/positive bacteria, fungus, protozoans, and algae) making it ideal for microbial community profiling. Unbiased mechanical lysis of tough microbes is achieved by bead beating with the innovative ZymoBIOMICS™ ultra-high density BashingBeads™ and validated using the ZymoBIOMICS™ Microbial Community Standard, as shown in Figure 3. In addition, the ZymoBIOMICS™ DNA Mini kit is equipped with Zymo’s Proprietary OneStep™ PCR Inhibitor removal technology enabling PCR from the most PCR prohibitive environmental samples rich in humic and fulvic acids, tannins, melanin, and other polyphenolic compounds.

Coupling state-of-the-art lysis technology with Zymo-Spin™ purification technology results in superior yields of ultra-pure DNA ideal for all downstream applications including PCR, arrays, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and shotgun sequencing.
