The PSP® Spin Skin DNA Kit enables reliable and efficient isolation of high‑quality microbial DNA from skin samples. Developed for skin microbiome research, the spin‑filter‑based workflow ensures pure, inhibitor‑free DNA suitable for demanding downstream applications.
Extracted DNA is compatible with PCR‑based assays, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun metagenomic sequencing, next‑generation sequencing (NGS), and hybridisation‑based microbial profiling techniques.
The kit is validated for all skin types, including dry, wet, and sebaceous skin, ensuring consistent and reproducible performance across diverse sampling conditions. When used in combination with the DermaSwab DNA Collection Kit, it provides a complete solution for standardised skin sample collection, DNA stabilisation, and downstream molecular analysis.
