• All types of soil samples can be processed, including common soil samples and difficult soil samples with a high humic acid content such as compost and manure
• Optimized protocol to remove excess water can be used to evaluate sediment samples with high water content, such as those taken from ponds or lakes
• Kit includes specialized solutions and bead tubes which remove all traces of humic acids through chemical and physical separation and lysis procedures
• A simple and rapid spin column procedure using a proprietary resin to further purify the DNA
• All humic acid substances and PCR inhibitors are removed before the DNA isolation procedure
• Fast and easy procedure can be completed in 30 minutes
• Protocol does not require use of hazardous chemicals such as phenol and chloroform or require an additional time-consuming step of ethanol precipitation to recover DNA during the purification process
• Purified DNA can be used for numerous downstream applications for the quantification and analysis of DNA, including PCR and QPCR
