A freeze-dried version of G2 DNA/RNA Enhancer, supplied with 0.1 mm beads in 2 mL tubes that replace the bead-beating tube of the extraction kit. Add 0.25 g of soil, transfer the kit lysis buffer into the tube, vortex gently and continue following the kit instructions. The enhancer prevents DNA and RNA from adsorbing to clay particles and raises yield at least 2-10 fold; in a study on low-biomass clay subsoils it gave up to 10 times more DNA.
Key features
Ready for bead beating
Enhancer and beads are already in the tube, which replaces the kit's own tube.
2 to 10 fold higher yield
Increases recovery of microbial DNA and RNA from clay samples.
Room temperature storage
The freeze-dried format is stored at -20 °C to 25 °C, kept dry.
Nuclease free
Tested for absence of endonuclease, nicking, exonuclease and RNase activity.
Applications
- Microbial DNA extraction from soil and clay
- RNA extraction from clay matrices
- Low-biomass subsoil samples
- Replacing bead-beating tubes in commercial soil kits
