SPINEASY® DNA PRO KIT FOR SOIL

Description

Soil samples are complex environments characterized by the presence of inhibitory compounds, such as
humic acid, heavy metals, and other aromatic components which may prove to be challenging for downstream
analyses. The SPINeasy® DNA Pro Kit for Soil has been carefully designed for the isolation of pure microbiome
genomic DNA from challenging soil types including those with low biomass or those highly contaminated.
The SPINeasy® DNA Pro Kit for Soil effectively lyses various microbiome population, including bacteria, fungi,
viruses, and protists. The kit provides similar yields to that of our highly cited FastDNA™ SPIN Kit, but with
improved purity and reduced processing time. Isolated DNA products showed no inhibition in PCR and were
immediately ready to be used in downstream applications, including long fragment PCR, qPCR, and nextgeneration sequencing (16S and whole genome) without the need of further inhibitor removal step.

Features-
• Effective isolation of high quality genomic DNA from high biomass and low biomass sample
• Unbiased alpha diversity results
• Higher purity and shorter processing time
• Compatible with vacuum manifold
Extraction Performance-

DNA extraction performed on 250 mg of low biomass soil samples using SPINeasy® DNA Pro kit and competitor Q Pro kit following manufacturer instruction

Integrity-

The SPINeasy® DNA pro kit demonstrated superior yield, purity and integrity compared to other extraction kits.
High biomass soil sample was processed using SPINeasy® DNA Pro Kit and other extraction kits. The extraction performance was evaluated using a
spectrophotometer and summarized with a dot plot with each dot representing a single extraction, or agarose gel to assess the DNA integrity.
