Manual DNA extraction from stool samples

Stool is a complex sample type that contains a variety of potential inhibitors. To remove inhibitors, our extraction kits use the unique Invisorb matrix. Substances such as humic acid, phytochemicals and other digestive products bind to the matrix and are effectively removed. Sample extraction can be done from stabilized or fresh/frozen stool specimen.
