Stool / Feces DNA (Host and Microbial DNA) Isolation Kit - CE-marked (for IVD)

Product Description

• CE-IVD marked in accordance with EU Directive 98/79/EC
• Fits into in vitro diagnostic workflows
• Fast and easy processing using a rapid spin-column format
• No phenol:chloroform extractions
• Remove all humic acid from DNA samples
• Isolate high quality genomic DNA

This kit provides a convenient and rapid method to isolate total DNA from fresh, frozen and preserved stool samples, including those preserved using Norgen’s Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation Devices Dx. The universal protocol conveniently allows for the isolation of total genomic DNA from all the various microorganisms and host cells found in the stool sample simultaneously. The kit removes all traces of humic acids and other inhibitors using Bead Tubes and a combination of chemical and physical homogenization and lysis, without the need of any phenol-chloroform extractions. A simple and rapid spin column procedure is then used to further purify the DNA with high yields and molecular weights of up to 50 kb plus.  The purified DNA is of the highest quality and is fully compatible with all downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, NGS and microarrays since all humic acid substances and other PCR inhibitors are removed during the isolation process.

Please Note

Norgen’s Stool DNA Isolation Kit Dx is intended for use by professional users such as technicians, physicians and biologists experienced and trained in molecular biological techniques including DNA isolation.

Norgen’s Stool DNA Isolation Kit Dx does not provide a diagnostic result. It is the sole responsibility of the user to use and validate the kit in conjunction with a downstream in vitro diagnostic assay.
