For high-throughput processing of microorganisms, consider DNeasy UltraClean 96 Microbial Kit. The 96-well format successfully isolates a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, fungal spores and Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Cells are lysed through a combination of heat, detergent and mechanical force from specialized beads. Released DNA is bound to a silica spin plate that is then washed. A certified DNA-free Tris buffer recovers DNA from the plate.

The DNeasy UltraClean 96 Microbial Kit was previously sold by MO BIO as the Ultraclean 96 Microbial DNA Kit.
