Single-Microbe DNA Barcoding Kit high-quality microbial genome recovery at scale
Single-Microbe DNA Barcoding Kit barcodes up to 10,000 microbial single amplified genomes (SAGs) per experiment, enabling genome recovery for individual cells after sequencing. Start by encapsulating microbial cells from suspension into semi-permeable capsules (SPCs), then seamlessly proceed with lysis, genome amplification, and barcoding. Optimized for Illumina short-read sequencing, the kit can also be adapted to any commercial NGS platform, including short- and long-read sequencing.

SAMPLE TYPES
Designed for versatility, our technology seamlessly integrates with diverse microbiomes and isolates, provided that the cells are in aqueous suspension and free from large particulates (>40 μm).






Lysis
SPCs can withstand harsh lysis conditions, which can be carried out in multiple steps. While the kit includes an alkaline lysis buffer, researchers have the flexibility to use their preferred lysis method, with the exception of mechanical disruption.





MULTIPLEXING CAPABILITIES
Samples can be multiplexed at various stages of the workflow, maximizing efficiency.
