Dr. Véronique Karsten, product manager of the Molecular Biology product portfolio at MP Biomedicals, will explain how to thoroughly homogenize and lyse microorganisms in samples for microbiome research. She will also discuss new DNA and RNA extraction kits from MP Biomedicals for high yields from diverse samples, including environmental, water, plant, fecal, and tissue specimens.
Key learning objectives
- Learn how to obtain a thorough homogenization and lysis of any microorganism from samples used in microbiome research
- Explore the new DNA and RNA extraction as well as coextractions kits developed by MP Biomedicals to generate high yields and achieve rapid isolation of genomic DNA and total RNA from environmental and water samples, plant specimens, feces, human and animal tissues
- Discover MPure-32™ and MPure-96™ Automatic Nucleic Acid Purification Platforms designed for high-throughput applications and combined kits specially developed for DNA and RNA purification from various samples including feces and environmental samples
Who should attend?
- Scientists involved in metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis of human and animal samples
- Researchers working in the environmental and agricultural research field (with soil, sediment, water, sludge, compost, rhizosphere, wood, and any other plant specimens as well as food samples)
