The QIAGEN DNeasy PowerSoil Kit is a tool for extracting high-quality microbial DNA from difficult soil samples by using bead-beating for cell lysis, a special Inhibitor Removal Technology (IRT) to eliminate humic acids and other PCR inhibitors, and silica membrane spin columns for purification, resulting in DNA ready for PCR, qPCR, and sequencing. The newer Pro versions offer even higher yields and faster protocols for challenging soil types like compost, manure, and clay.
