Stool is a complex sample type that contains a variety of potential inhibitors. To remove inhibitors, our extraction kits use the unique InviAdsorb 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.
For high sample throughput, the InviMag® Stool DNA Kit/ KF96 enables fast and cost-effective DNA purification using magnetic beads on the KingFisher™ Flex instrument.
