This brochure provides an overview of the Bio-Extract™ field DNA isolation method for environmental samples, which stops biological activity within minutes and stablilizes genetic material for accurate downstream analysis. Performing DNA extractions in the field with Bio-Extract™ eliminates holding time concerns, which is especially helpful for remote and logistically challenging sites.
This article outlines procedures and considerations for utilizing Bio-Extract™ in-field DNA isolation kits and field-portable qPCR with the FieldQuant™ platform. Comparison data and replicate results are also included, demonstrating the sound science of this innovative system.
This Top Tips graphic compares Bio‑Flo® filters and traditional 1‑liter bottles for groundwater sampling, highlighting cost, handling, and workflow considerations. It shows that both methods deliver equivalent data quality and preservation while Bio‑Flo® filters can reduce shipping costs and eliminate filtration and waste fees.
