Enhance Microbial World Exploration with Standardized Sample Prep

Extracting DNA and RNA from complex microbial communities poses a challenge. Efficient cell lysis and high-quality recovered nucleic acids are crucial for molecular techniques' success. MP Biomedicals provides comprehensive sample preparation solutions, covering sample grinding, cell lysis, and nucleic acid extraction and optimized purification kits for various complex samples in microbiome research, including stool, gut, skin tissues, saliva, and environmental or agricultural samples. Its latest development enables high-throughput, automated purification of sequencing-grade nucleic acids from dedicated microbiome research samples

Dr. Véronique Karsten, product manager of the Molecular Biology product portfolio at MP Biomedicals, will explain how to thoroughly homogenize and lyse microorganisms in samples for microbiome research. She will also discuss new DNA and RNA extraction kits from MP Biomedicals for high yields from diverse samples, including environmental, water, plant, fecal, and tissue specimens.
