Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS Kit The Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS Kit is the ultimate solution combining protocols for extraction of enriched microbial DNA and amplification of bacterial and fungal sequences including positive controls, calibrators and DNA-free plastics. The Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS Kit allows for significantly deeper sequencing compared to conventional DNA isolation and amplification and comprises the following steps

1. Microbiome Enrichment: The Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS kit contains all reagents and plastics required for enrichment of microbial DNA and removal of human and “dead” microbial DNA.


2. Contamination-free microbial DNA isolation: The Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS kit contains all reagents, buffers and spin columns required for sensitive and contamination-free microbial DNA isolation.


3. QC of microbiome DNA: Ultra-pure 16S/18S mastermixes allow enable the quality control of isolated microbiome DNA prior to NGS-based sequencing. Furthermore, supplied mastermix and sequencing primers allow 16S/18S-based re-sequencing approaches.


4. Custom assay development: An ultra-pure mastermix without primers and supplied validated DNA-free water for preparation of custom primer solutions allow assay development.


5. Controls: For calibration and validation of sequencing depth internal and positive controls are provided facilitating quantitative NGS approaches

The Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS Kit is the perfect kit for ultra-sensitive identification of a broad range of bacteria and fungi from a variety of sample types. DNA extraction and PCR protocols are supplied for whole blood, primary body fluids, including CSF and synovial fluid, BAL, exudates like sputum and urine, human and animal tissues, biopsies, and biofilms. As an important character the Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS Kit enables detecting and indentifying microorganisms that are viable but not growing in culture. Microbiome DNA enriched by the Ultra-Deep Microbiome NGS Kit is compatible to commercially available NGS library kits and sequencing kits.
