Processing large amounts of soil and other environmental samples is fast and easy with the DNeasy PowerSoil HTP 96 Kit. Using a 96-well format, difficult soil types from compost to marine sediment to manure can be successfully processed and the DNA isolated. The highly pure DNA resulting from processing with the DNeasy PowerSoil HTP 96 Kit is ready for downstream applications, including qPCR amplification.

Samples are broken down and homogenized on the 96-well bead beating plate. Cells are lysed by both mechanical and chemical means and the DNA is captured on a 96-well silica membrane spin column, washed and eluted. The DNA is then ready for downstream applications such as qPCR or next-generation sequencing.

PCR analysis on resulting DNA has detected a variety of organisms, from yeasts, molds and other fungi, algae, Gram (+/-) bacteria (including Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus anthracis), actinomycetes (including Streptomyces) and nematodes.

DNeasy PowerSoil HTP 96 Kit was formerly sold by MO BIO as PowerSoil-htp 96 Well Soil DNA Kit.
