The MagBeads FastDNA® Kit for Soil allows quick and efficient isolation of high-quality genomic DNA from soil in less than 60 mins. Samples are placed into Lysing Matrix E tube and used with FastPrep® Instruments from MP Biomedicals to effectively lyse host cells as well as bacteria, fungi, viruses, protists, and other cells present in soil samples within 40 seconds. It consists of specially formulated reagents to eliminate humic acid, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and enzyme inhibitors from soil and thus allowing extraction of highly pure genomic DNA ready for PCR, restriction digestion, electrophoresis, and other desired applications.
Performance
MagBeads FastDNA® Kit for Soil has been extensively tested for its performance. The following figures show the gDNA yields obtained from various soil samples using the kit. Results demonstrate high yields and purity of extracted gDNA, ready-to-use for PCR amplification.
