PDQeX PrepGEM Bacteria 100

MicroGEM’s PDQeX prepGEM Bacteria Kit provides a simple automated approach to studying a wide range of microbial cultures. Using MicroGEM’s PDQeX Nucleic Acid Extractor, purified double-stranded DNA is generated, making it the perfect solution when working with inhibitory samples (for example soil and stool).
Every aspect of the MicroGEM method ensures the samples are processed quickly and gently. Minimal sample prep, closed tube processing, and gentle lysis ensure that cross contamination and DNA fragmentation are drastically reduced, making MicroGEM’s extraction process streamlined while preserving the integrity of low abundance species.

Novel temperature-driven enzymatic lysis using a thermophilic proteinase in combination with mesophilic lysozyme

Rapid workflow- 1/4th the time taken by other methods

Easily automated for high throughput

Closed system- no cross contamination and protection against pathogens

Gentle lysis with no transfer steps- preserves DNA and improves community representation in metagenomic samples

Minimal handling and pipetting of samples means DNA is exceptionally intact with high molecular weight

Can be easily adapted to different sample types and workflows
