We believe in equipping researchers with fast, high-quality extraction capabilities so they can move quickly to analysis, results, and decisions. Sample preparation and extractions should be easier, safer and faster. The use of detergents and denaturants should be limited. Workflows should be done in minutes, not hours. The heart of our company is our culture collection, a proprietary library of thousands of extremophile organisms discovered in Antarctica. The discovery of a unique, thermostable proteinase produced by one of these extremophiles led to our radical approach to enzymatic DNA and RNA extractions. These extremophiles have inspired us to think differently about sample preparation and extracting nucleic acids. And they’re the basis of our temperature-driven approach to nucleic acid extraction. Our name is our commitment – Microfluidics, Genes, Enzymes, and Microbials – to push the frontiers of sample preparation and nucleic acid extraction capabilities.
prep GEM Universal is a widely-used, adaptable reagent ideal for rapid DNA extractions from life science samples such as blood, saliva, cell culture, and tissue (including ear punches, tails, and insect). The heat-driven extraction is done in a single-tube with no harsh chemicals or additional steps so there is no loss of DNA, enabling extractions from very low sample volume. The kit is perfect for CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing a…
forensic GEM Sperm is a rapid kit for extracting DNA from tough sperm heads. Using temperature controls and single-tube process, this kit requires no reducing agents, such as SDS, mercaptoethanol or DTT, that inhibit qPCR and STR analysis, As a result, DNA is preserved, processing time is quick, and opportunities for contamination are minimized making this the perfect approach for differential extractions and y-screening.
RNA GEM is a simple, rapid RNA extraction solution that leverages a powerful thermophilic proteinase to simultaneously lyse cells and eliminate RNases, thereby stabilizing the RNA and maintaining its integrity without harsh chemicals or multiple washes. The single-tube extraction protects precious samples, ensuring all RNA is preserved. It is the ideal solution for gene expression from a very small number of cells without t…
prep GEM Bacteria is ideal for processing Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, protozoa, archaea, colonies and liquid cultures, biofilm and mucosal samples, swabs, and metagenomic DNA including soil, stool and water. The heat-driven extraction is done in a single-tube with no harsh chemicals or additional steps so there is no loss of DNA, enabling extractions from very low sample volume.
The PDQeX Nucleic Acid Extractor is MicroGEM’s automated solution for effortless DNA extraction. This little powerhouse provides a simplified workflow in a single closed-tube system to handle challenging samples such as plant and fungi. It’s also the perfect extraction technology for labs looking for fast, hands-free, programmable sample processing, producing DNA in less than 20 minutes.
