Anybody tried the ZymoBIOMICS DNA/RNA Mini Kit?

06 June 2017 1 7K Report

I'm planning to do extractions for metagenomics & metatranscriptomics of insect gut contents. Any other recommendation for quick isolation and separation of DNA and RNA from the same sample would help me. Thanks

Though I haven't used the kit you mentioned, all DNA/RNA extraction principles are similar. You can have a try.

You should pay attention to preventing your extractive from contaminated and degraded.

Good luck
