Extract high quality, inhibitor-free metagenomic DNA from feces, soil, water, etc.


  • Rapid method for the isolation of inhibitor-free, PCR-quality DNA from fecal samples in minutes, including those from humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, etc.
  • Ultra-high density BashingBeads are fracture resistant and chemically inert.
  • Zymo-Spin column and unique filtration technologies effectively removes PCR inhibitors from the DNA product.

The Quick-DNA Fecal/Soil Microbe Midiprep Kit is a fecal and soil DNA extraction kit designed for the simple and rapid isolation of inhibitor-free, PCR-quality host cell and microbial DNA from a variety of sample sources, including humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, etc. The procedure is easy and can be completed in minutes: fecal samples are rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead beating with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads. Zymo-Spin column technology is then used to isolate the DNA which is subsequently filtered to remove humic acids/polyphenols that can inhibit PCR. Eluted DNA is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, arrays, genotyping, methylation detection, etc.

Q2: What is the purpose of Zymo-Spin III-HRC step?

Environmental samples often contain inhibitors such as polyphenolics, humic/fulvic acids, tannins, melanins, etc. that affect downstream applications such as PCR. Once the DNA is eluted off the binding column, the DNA is then passed through the Zymo-Spin III-HRC to remove the PCR inhibitors, and the DNA is then ready for downstream applications. The Zymo-Spin III-HRC does not bind DNA, it simply removes the PCR inhibitors. The Zymo-Spin III-HRC can be purchased separately as the OneStep PCR Inhibitor Kit (D6030).
