The GDP613 Environmental Microbial DNA Extraction Kit is a magnetic bead‑based solution designed for automated purification of microbial genomic DNA from complex and inhibitor‑rich environmental samples.

It enables efficient removal of substances such as humic acids and delivers DNA suitable for direct use in downstream molecular biology applications.

Validated for DNA extraction from a wide range of complex and inhibitor‑rich environmental samples, including:

Soil and Sediment Samples: Common soil, high‑humic‑acid soil, lean soil, pond sludge, lake sediments and marine sediments.

Fecal and Gut‑Related Samples: Rodent feces, livestock and poultry feces, and intestinal contents.

Water and Filter‑Based Samples: Water samples, water filter membranes and air filter membranes.

Fermentation and Complex Liquids: Fermentation broth, pit mud yellow water, milk, yogurt and honey.

Other Challenging Matrices: Plant tissues, roots, fungal materials and other inhibitor‑rich samples.

Detailed sample input recommendations are provided in the user manual.

• Optimized for complex matrices: Designed specifically for soil, fecal, sludge and sediment samples.
• Efficient inhibitor removal: Optimized chemistry enables rapid removal of humic acids and PCR inhibitors.
• High DNA purity and integrity: Magnetic bead‑based purification yields DNA suitable for PCR and NGS.
• Automation‑ready workflow: Compatible with TGuide automated extraction platforms.

  The purified DNA is suitable for direct use in downstream applications, including PCR, qPCR, and next-generation sequencing (NGS).

• TGuide S16 Automated Nucleic Acid Extractor
• TGuide S32 / S32 Pro Automated Nucleic Acid Extractor

This kit is a core component of the TIANGEN environmental DNA extraction solution, which integrates sample pretreatment, automated DNA purification and downstream molecular analysis into a streamlined workflow.

The workflow covers key steps including sample collection and homogenization, efficient removal of inhibitors, automated DNA purification, PCR amplification and optional library preparation for sequencing applications.

Within this workflow, the GDP613 Environmental Microbial DNA Extraction Kit enables reliable purification of microbial genomic DNA from complex and inhibitor‑rich environmental samples.

The solution is designed for automated operation using TGuide extraction platforms, supporting consistent performance and scalable laboratory workflows.
