Gain better quality data from metagenomic analysis

PCR Biosystems
12 Oct 2023

Traditional microbiology methods enable detection only of a subset of microbes in a sample (only those organisms that can be cultured under laboratory conditions). Metagenomics (the use of NGS, next-generation sequencing, on complex microbial samples) overcomes this limitation by directly extracting and sequencing DNA or RNA from environmental samples, providing a snapshot of the genetic content of the entire microbial community.

See how you can gain better quality data for more reliable conclusions, enhanced comparative analyses with improved statistical power, and greater cost efficiency with the VeriFi™ Library Amplification Mix.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Library PreparationLibrary preparation is a critical step in sequencing workflows, where DNA or RNA samples are converted into libraries for high-throughput, next generation sequencing. This step ensures accurate results and minimizes biases. Explore library preparation kits in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.DNA AmplificationDNA Amplification is a technique used to amplify a single or multiple copies of DNA or mRNA by orders of magnitude. The most common method employed is PCR, but other options exist that eliminate the need for thermocycling.Metagenomics
