Reproducibility
Review Date: 24 Mar 2023 | MP Biomedicals
I have been using this kit for more than 15 years and quite happy with the results.
Extract DNA from environmental samples
The product produces high yield of DNA from environmental samples. However, the quality of the DNA produces after following the manual is not very high. I modify the protocol by washing the column more than one time with the washing buffer and it gives better quality of DNA. I don't want to change to other kit for the same purpose. The only drawbacvk is that lide of recovery tube is not easy to close the tube with the column.

Isolate Pure DNA from Cells Present in Soil or Other Environmental Samples!
- Thorough lysis in seconds of any microorganism present in environmental samples.
- Ready-to-use DNA for quantitative and qualitative characterization of microbial soil communities.
- Excellent reproducibility for an optimum assay-to-assay consistency.
- Total removal of humic acids and PCR inhibitors for a successful investigation of microbial diversity.
The FastDNA™ SPIN Kit for Soil is designed to efficiently isolate bacterial, fungal, plant and animal genomic DNA from soil and environmental samples. Up to 500 mg soil are processed by the FastPrep®-24 5G or and any bead beating homogenizers with the Lysing Matrix E tubes designed to efficiently lyse all microorganisms including difficult sources such as eubacterial spores and endospores, gram positive bacteria and yeast. The released DNA is purified by a silica-based spin filter method and is suitable for PCR and other downstream applications.
Exploring the world of microbiomes – Insights of state-of-the-art solutions for metagenomic approaches
To explore the natural microbial community of any ecosystem by high-resolution molecular approaches, it is extremely important to develop sensitive and reproducible nucleic acid extraction methods that facilitate isolation of microbial DNA and RNA of sufficient purity and quantity.
Proper lysis of microbial cells without damaging their genomes is the first major challenge. Then, as a second step, isolation and extraction must yield high quality nucleic acid for subsequent metagenomic studies.
MP Biomedicals supplies a complete solution from sample grinding, cell lysis to nucleic acid extraction and purification.
In order to offer a ready-to-use, flexible and reliable solution for nucleic acid isolation, MP Biomedicals has developed a portfolio of FastPrep bead beating instruments together with a broad panel of Lysing Matrix tubes to grind and lyse thoroughly any sample type and built up a comprehensive range of organic-based, spin column-based as well as magnetic beads-based extraction kits for the isolation of high-quality DNA and RNA.
