The ZymoBIOMICS™ innovative lysis system eliminates bias associated with unequal lysis efficiencies1 of different organisms (e.g. Gram-negative/positive bacteria including endospores2 , fungi, protozoans, algae, etc.) making it ideal for microbial community profiling. Unbiased mechanical lysis of tough microbes is achieved by bead beating with the innovative ultra-high density BashingBeads™ and validated using the ZymoBIOMICS™ Microbial Community Standard.In addition, the ZymoBIOMICS™ 96 DNA Kit is equipped with Zymo Researchs proprietary OneStep™ PCR InhibitorRemoval technology, enabling PCR from the most PCR prohibitive environmental samples rich in humic and fulvic acids, tannins, melanin, and other polyphenolic compounds. Coupling state-of-the-art lysis technology with Zymo-Spin™ Technology results in superior yields of ultra-pure DNA ideal for all downstream applications including PCR, arrays, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and shotgun sequencing.
