Introduction
Soil samples contain a large number of microorganisms, the vast majority of which can not be directly cultivated for reproduction and research. Extracting DNA from soil samples is the most effective method for studying soil microorganisms. At present, there are mainly direct and indirect methods for extracting microbial DNA from soil samples. The direct method refers to placing soil samples in the lysis solution, and using effective wall breaking methods to release all microbial DNA into the lysis solution, followed by separation and extraction, such as Zhou’s method. Indirect method refers to placing soil in a buffer, such as Buffer PBS, to separate microorganisms from the soil and then extract DNA. The indirect method can greatly reduce the impact of humic acids and heavy metal salts on DNA extraction in soil, but this method will lose many microorganisms and the resulting DNA is not the entire genome (metagenome) of the soil sample. Currently, few researchers have adopted this method. Extracting DNA directly from soil samples can maximize the likelihood of obtaining the entire genome, but this method faces the following issues:
1. Humic acid pollution. The soil, especially in forests and grasslands, is rich in humic acids. Humic acid is a series of organic molecules, some of which are very similar to nucleic acid molecules and difficult to remove during purification. Trace amounts of humic acid pollution can lead to downstream applications such as PCR and enzyme digestion failure.
2. Lysis method. Soil samples contain various microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. Gram positive bacteria and fungi both contain very thick bacterial walls, and effectively breaking down the cell walls of these microorganisms is crucial for extracting high-yield metagenomic DNA. Due to the complexity of soil samples, it is not feasible to use enzymatic methods (such as lysozyme, wall breaking enzyme, snail enzyme) or liquid nitrogen grinding, as the soil contains various metalions or inhibitory factors that inactive the digestive enzymes, or the presence of sand particles in the soil makes liquid nitrogen grinding difficult.
3. The DNA yield is difficult to control. Soil samples would have significant changes in the number and variety of microorganisms due to fertility, inferiority, high moisture content, dryness, or depth of sampling. In a small range of soil samples, the DNA content often varies by thousands of times. In addition, certain chemical components in soil, such as heavy metal salts and clay substances, can cause a decrease in DNA yield.
Magen’s HiPure Soil DNA Kits are currently the most optimized kit for soil DNA extraction. The kit adopts glass bead grinding method and thermal shock chemical wall breaking method, which can be carried out in the point vortex instrument without special bead grinding instrument, and is suitable for a wide range of laboratories. The Absorber Solution in the reagent kit is a humic acid adsorbent exclusively developed by Magen Company, which can efficiently remove various humic acid pollutants. In addition, an alcohol-free silica gel column purification method is also used to efficiently remove various soluble metal salts and other soluble inhibitory factors from the soil. The kit has successfully extracted from the following soil (partially based on customer feedback): soil from forests in nature reserves (30 to 40 years old forest soil with a surface layer of 30-50cm deciduous layer), mangrove soil, grasslands, farmland, seabed mud, sludge, mineral area soil, organic matter contaminated soil, pond mud, garbage mud, air conditioning pipeline deposits, etc.
This product allows rapid and reliable isolation of high-quality genomic DNA from various soil samples. Up to 500 mg soil samples can be processed in 60 minute. The system combines the reversible nucleic acid binding properties of HiPure matrix with the speed and versatilityof spin column technology to eliminate PCR inhibiting compounds such as humic acid from soil samples. Purified DNA is suitable for PCR, restriction digestion, and next-generation sequencing. There are no organic extractions thus reducing plastic waste and hands-on time to allow multiple samples to be processed in parallel.

Binding conditions are then adjusted and the sample is applied to a DNA Mini Column. Two rapid wash steps remove trace contaminants and pure DNA is eluted in low ionic strength buffer. Purified DNA can be directly used in downstream applications without the need for further purification.

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and concentrate high quality, high purity and inhibitor-free cell-free circulating and exosomal RNA using a convenient spin column method. These kits can purify RNA from fresh or frozen serum or plasma samples prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used, as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR. The purified plasma/serum RNA is fully compatible with all downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive reverse transcription qPCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, expression array assays, and NGS. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS.
Background
Cell-free circulating RNA, including exosomal RNA in plasma or serum, has the potential to provide biomarkers for certain cancers and disease states, and includes tumor-specific extracellular RNA in the blood. Exosomes are 40 – 100 nm membrane vesicles, which are secreted by most cell types. Exosomes can be found in saliva, blood, urine, amniotic fluid and malignant ascitic fluids, among other biological fluids. Evidence has been accumulating recently that these vesicles act as cellular messengers, conveying information to distant cells and tissues within the body. The exosomes contain cell-specific proteins, lipids and RNAs, which are transported to other cells, where they can alter function and/or physiology. These exosomes may play a functional role in mediating adaptive immune responses to infectious agents and tumours, tissue repair, neural communication and transfer of pathogenic proteins. Recent work has demonstrated the presence of distinct subsets of microRNAs within exosomes which depend upon the tumour cell type from which they are secreted. For this reason, exosomal RNAs may serve as biomarkers for various diseases including cancer. As the RNA molecules encapsulated within exosomes are protected from degradation by RNAses, they can be efficiently recovered from biological fluids, such as plasma or serum.

Purchase Guide
1. When dealing with woody or uncommon samples, R4150 is recommended first. R4150 contains two polysaccharide/polyphenol lysis buffer, which is the most universal product.
2. R4151 is recommended for handling common economic crop samples for the first time. Strong lysis solution can be used to process easy-extraction samples. The amount of corn or rice leaves samples can reach up to 300mg.
3. R4165 adopts CTAB/chloroform method, which can also handle a large number of difficult-to-extraction plants, but requires contact with chloroform substitutes, which is less safe than other kits. This kit uses DNase Ⅰ to remove DNA, which is also a good choice for extracting polysaccharide/polyphenol-rich plant samples.
4. R4014 is recommended for fruit/starch plant samples, which uses improved trizol pre-treatment, single column operation and is more economical.
