DNA extraction of river and lake sediments with SPINeasy DNA Kit for Soil (Cat. No. 116530050)
Unsettling DNA extraction results from sediments sample
Working with samples from rivers and lakes heavily filled with mineral and organic deposits, our customer experienced poor DNA extraction results. Their range of soil samples are sediments from gutters, rivers and mangrove roots.
MP Biomedicals resolved the researcher’s difficulty with introduction of SPINeasy DNA Kit for Soil (Cat. No. 116530050) which significantly improved the absorbance ratio260/230 readings.
