DNA Expertise Across Various Sample Types
Varied Extraction Approaches. Our team has developed and optimized protocols to tackle the unique challenges posed by different sample types.
Soil samples
-
Our methods effectively remove contaminants such as humic substances, ensuring that you receive clean DNA, free of inhibitors, suitable even for the most sensitive downstream applications.
FFPE (Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded) Tissues
-
We use advanced techniques to extract high-quality DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, overcoming challenges related to fragmentation and cross-linking.
Applications:
-
Comprehensive profiling of microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and eukaryotes.
-
Functional genomics and pathway analysis.
-
Detection of rare or novel organisms.
-
Discovery of antibiotic resistance genes and other functional traits.
Microbiome Samples
-
With the diversity of microorganisms present in microbiome samples, our protocols ensure complete lysis of all cell types, providing a comprehensive DNA extraction for precise microbial analysis.
Environmental Samples (eDNA)
-
Environmental samples often contain low amounts of nucleic acids and various contaminants. Our protocols are designed to isolate environmental DNA (eDNA) even from complex matrices like sediments, soil and water, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Bone and Teeth Samples
-
DNA extraction from bone and teeth is particularly challenging due to degradation over time and the presence of calcium-rich matrices. We use specialized demineralization and extraction techniques to obtain high-quality DNA from these resilient tissues.
Plant Samples
-
The rigid cell walls of plants and the presence of secondary metabolites can complicate DNA extraction. Our customized approaches effectively break down these barriers, ensuring the purity and integrity of DNA extracted from various plant species.
Applications:
-
Comprehensive profiling of microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and eukaryotes.
-
Functional genomics and pathway analysis.
-
Detection of rare or novel organisms.
-
Discovery of antibiotic resistance genes and other functional traits.
Formalin-Fixed Biological Fluids
-
Like FFPE tissues, formalin-fixed biological fluids can pose challenges in obtaining high-quality DNA due to cross-linking. We have developed protocols that successfully extract usable DNA from these challenging samples.
