Metagenomics Sequencing: Sending Purified DNA

We recommend using Norgen's DNA purification kits for DNA isolation from all specimen types.

Norgen can accept purified DNA extracted by any commercial method. Please consult one of our scientists for the best approach for DNA extraction for your sample. Please provide the concentration and volume of your DNA as well as a 260:280 ratio with submission.

> Required DNA volume and minimum concentration: 10 μL of 5ng/ μL
