MO BIO Laboratories has launched two new products: the PowerBiofilm DNA isolation kit and the PowerBiofilm RNA isolation kit.
The PowerBiofilm kits are designed to isolate high-quality DNA or RNA from virtually any type of biofilm sample, from dental plaque to microbial mats. As research on the unique characteristics of biofilms increases, PowerBiofilm kits are expected to become valuable tools for biofilm microbial community analysis and metagenomics, the company said.
The PowerBiofilm DNA and RNA isolation kits are the first commercial kits designed to isolate nucleic acids from the wide range of biofilm samples, the company noted. These kits include a new bead tube mix that combines both mechanical and chemical cell lysis for optimal penetration of polymeric substances commonly found in biofilms, according to the company.
