Reliable microbiome and qPCR results start with high-quality DNA extraction. The Alimetrics proprietary DNA extraction methods are optimized for complex biological matrices such as feces and intestinal samples, delivering robust and reproducible DNA suitable for downstream molecular analyses.
Where it helps?
- In production and research settings, high-quality DNA extraction ensures accurate microbiome profiling and pathogen detection (qPCR, sequencing).
- Enables consistent data quality across studies, reducing variability caused by sample matrix complexity.
- Supports reliable quantification of microbial taxa, pathogens, and functional genes.
How does it work?
We extract DNA from BioFreeze™-stabilized samples or frozen samples, ensuring preservation of microbial composition and DNA integrity.
The Alimetrics method is designed to:
- Efficiently lyse Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and spore-forming bacteria
- Minimize inhibitors commonly found in fecal material
- Deliver DNA compatible with both qPCR and next-generation sequencing workflows
What do we deliver?
High-quality total DNA suitable for:
- qPCR-based pathogen and microbiome analysis
- 16S rRNA gene sequencing
- Shotgun metagenomics (upon request)
Typical use cases
- Microbiome studies: generate high-quality sequencing data
- Pathogen detection: ensure sensitive and accurate qPCR results
- Feed additive trials: support mechanistic insights and efficacy claims
Sample types
- BioFreeze™ preserved samples
- Frozen feces
- Intestinal digesta samples
