Zymo Research Quick-DNA/RNA Water Kit

Zymo Research has launched the Quick-DNA/RNA Water Kit to provide total DNA/RNA recovery from water samples. The kit can be used to recover nucleic acids from viruses, bacteria, and fungi, as well as free DNA/RNA from microbes in wastewater and environmental water samples. A key feature of the kit is its advanced wastewater stabilization buffer, which facilitates the pelleting of microbes and free nucleic acids without the need for vacuum filtration, Zymo said. In addition, the kits feature inhibitor removal, which is especially important when processing large volumes of wastewater, where pathogens are typically present in low abundance, the company said.
