Sample Collection and Preservation

Sample Storage at Ambient Temperature

Microbiome DNA/RNA Preservation: Preserves genetic integrity and expression profiles of samples at ambient temperatures.
Safe Transport: Inactivates infectious agents (virus, bacteria, parasites, yeasts).
Streamlined Workflow: DNA and RNA can be isolated directly from preserved samples without lengthy precipitation or reagent removal steps.

Improve the quality and reproducibility of microbiomics analyses with microbial standards from Zymo Research.

Optimisation and benchmarking. Positive control for microbial lysis.

Optimisation and positive controls for library preparation & bioinformatics.

Assess taxonomic assignment and bioinformatics. Enable inter-lab and inter-study data comparisons.

Individual sample control and absolute quantification.

Unbiased Nucleic Acid Extraction From Any Sample

Unbiased Lysis: Efficient and unbiased lysis of microbes including Gram-positive/negative bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and viruses from any sample.
Ultra-Pure: DNA/RNA (including small/micro RNAs) is inhibitor-free and ready for qPCR and microbiome measurements using Next-Gen Sequencing.
High Sensitivity: Increased detection limit of very low abundance organisms.

Ready with only a single PCR step and no normalisation needed.

Quick-16S Plus NGS Library Prep Kit

The Quick-16S Plus NGS Library Prep Kit (V1-V3) is the fastest and simplest NGS library prep targeting the V1-V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene for high-throughput sequencing.
The automation-friendly protocol utilises a single qPCR/PCR for combined targeted amplification and barcode addition using specially designed primers.

Quick-ITS Plus NGS Library Prep Kit

The Quick-ITS Plus NGS Library Prep Kit is the fastest and simplest NGS library prep targeting the ITS region for high-throughput sequencing.
Automation-friendly protocol utilises a single qPCR/PCR for combined targeted amplification and barcode addition using specially designed primers.
