An additive for extracting microbial DNA and RNA from difficult matrices, especially clay and soil, used together with a standardised extraction method or a commercial kit. It prevents nucleic acids from adsorbing to clay particles and relieves the DNA-particle complexes that hinder recovery, with a stated yield increase of at least 2-10 fold. Add 500 µL of enhancer to 0.25 g of sample, reduce the water content (for example by freeze-drying for 24 hours) and continue with the extraction kit.
Key features
2 to 10 fold higher yield
Increases recovery of microbial DNA and RNA from clay samples.
Against adsorption
Prevents nucleic acids binding to clay particles and relieves inhibitory complexes.
Fits existing protocols
Used upstream of a commercial kit or a standardised extraction method.
Nuclease free
Tested for absence of endonuclease, nicking, exonuclease and RNase activity.
Applications
- Microbial DNA extraction from soil
- DNA and RNA extraction from clay
- Low-biomass clay subsoil samples
- Improving the yield of commercial soil kits
