mericon Sample Preparation Kits are designed to enable the extraction of high-quality nucleic acids from a wide range of starting materials, such as pathogen enrichment cultures (mericon DNA Bacteria and Bacteria Plus Kits) and a variety of raw and processed foods (DNeasy mericon Food Kit). The carryover of PCR inhibitors from these complex food matrices is minimized. The isolated, pure DNA is suitable for downstream applications, such as real-time PCR ingredient authentication, pathogen detection, or GMO DNA detection and quantification using mericon PCR Assay Kits.
