The PowerMicrobial™ Maxi DNA Isolation Kit is designed to isolate DNA from microorganisms grown in up to 100 ml of culture with a density of at least 10⁸ cells/ml. The versatility of the PowerMicrobial™ Maxi DNA Isolation Kit efficiently isolates DNA from a wide range of microorganisms; Gram-positive, Gram-negative, yeast and fungi. Typical yields will depend on the type of microorganism and culture cell density. The maximum binding capacity of the spin columns is 1 mg DNA.

The success of the PowerMicrobial™ Maxi DNA Isolation Kit is the highly effective lysing method. Utilizing common laboratory equipment, the PowerMicrobial™ Maxi DNA Isolation Kit simply requires a Vortex and a Vortex Adapter for maximum effectiveness. This unique bead-beating method together with an optimized phenol: chloroform reagent results in both maximum yields and sterile DNA in all tested microorganisms. The absence of viable microbial cells or spores in the extracted DNA is a unique feature of this kit which
