The NucleoSpin Microbial DNA kit is designed for rapid purification of highly pure genomic DNA from microorganisms (gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, yeast, and fungi). The kit utilizes MN Bead Tubes Type B (glass beads; included in the kit) in combination with Liquid Proteinase K and a common disruption device, such as an MN Bead Tube Holder or a swing mill, to lyse different sample types using a single procedure. The procedure is fast, simple and provides reliably high DNA yields from a wide range of microbial samples. MN bead tubes can also be ordered separately if needed.
