Fecal microbiome characterization is a rapidly evolving field based on continued development of downstream assays. Complex analyses such as next-generation sequencing can enhance data quality by measuring the abundance of various bacterial species. Many extraction methods for fecal microbiome DNA involve several manual processing steps and mechanical disruption. The Maxwell® RSC Fecal Microbiome DNA Kit, used with Maxwell® Instruments, is designed to provide an easy and automated method that efficiently purifies microbiome DNA for characterization in downstream assays including qPCR and next-generation sequencing.
