Zymo-Spin IB DNA/RNA Extraction Kit by Zymo Research – 5 µg, 800 µl

Description

Product Overview

The Zymo-Spin IB kit is engineered by Zymo Research to deliver a reliable, high‑performance solution for nucleic acid purification. Each spin column is constructed from a robust polymer matrix that binds DNA and RNA with high affinity, allowing researchers to capture up to 5 µg of nucleic acid per spin. The design incorporates an 800 µl capacity chamber, ensuring that at least 6 µl of eluate is recovered, which is sufficient for downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, sequencing, and library preparation. The kit is supplied in a convenient pack of 50, providing ample supply for routine laboratory workflows and large‑scale projects.

Usage

This kit is suited for a wide range of laboratory environments, from academic research labs to industrial biotech facilities. It excels in applications that demand rapid turnaround, such as diagnostic testing, gene expression analysis, and CRISPR‑based editing workflows. The spin‑column format requires only a standard microcentrifuge, eliminating the need for specialized equipment and reducing overall assay time. Users can integrate the Zymo-Spin IB kit into existing protocols for plasmid purification, viral RNA extraction, and genomic DNA isolation, making it a versatile addition to any molecular biology toolkit.
