The ZymoBIOMICS™ 96 DNA Kit is designed for purifying DNA from a wide array of sample inputs (e.g. feces, soil, water, biofilms, etc.), that is immediately ready for microbiome or metagenome analyses. The ZymoBIOMICS™ innovative lysis system eliminates bias associated with unequal lysis efficiencies of different organisms (e.g. Gram-negative/positive bacteria including endospores, fungi, protozoans, algae, etc.) making it ideal for microbial community profiling.
