The PowerMag™ Microbiome RNA/DNA isolation kit is the latest in the high quality nucleic acid purification tools developed using key MO BIO technologies.

• Unique bead-based lysis for uniform representation of the nucleic acid population
• Inhibitor Removal Technology® (IRT) for complete removal of PCR inhibitors commonly found in stool or gut material (for example, lipids, polysaccharides and heme) to eliminate false negatives in downstream applications such as qPCR
• ClearMag™ technology: Magnetic beads designed with a unique coating that enables hands-free purification of high yields of pure nucleic acids in a high-throughput format.

The PowerMag™ Microbiome RNA/DNA Isolation Kit is currently being used for The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study, a large-scale international effort funded by the National Institutes of Health to determine the causes of type 1 diabetes mellitus. At Baylor College of Medicine, the microbiome and viral metagenomics laboratory for TEDDY, the kit was chosen because it is the only method that meets the project's needs for high-throughput isolation of high quality, pure DNA and RNA from stool and gut samples.

The PowerMag™ Microbiome RNA/DNA Isolation Kit is available now. For more information, visit the MO BIO website (www.mobio.com/human-microbiome) or call 800-606-6246.
