E.Z.N.A.® Universal Pathogen Kit

The E.Z.N.A. Universal Pathogen DNA Kit allows for rapid and reliable isolation of high-quality host genomic DNA, gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial DNA, fungal spore DNA, yeast DNA, viral DNA and viral RNA from tissues, blood, urine, serum, whole blood, and stool samples.

This kit incorporates Omega Bio-tek’s Disruptor Tubes prefilled with glass beads for faster and easier processing. The Disruptor Tubes allow for simultaneous homogenization and lysis of the samples and aid in the effective disruption of difficult samples. No detergents are present in the initial lysis buffer, which eliminates foaming issues and provides optimal conditions for homogenization.

This unique buffer system does not require alcohol to bind nucleic acids, allowing for the recovery of high-quality DNA/RNA free of PCR inhibitors. Omega Bio-tek’s MicroElute LE Spin Columns are used, which support elution volumes as low as 15 μL to obtain a high concentration of the eluate.
