What samples can be analysed with MolYsis kits?

What kind of samples can be processed with MolYsis™?

MolYsis™ has proven valuable for the analysis of a wide range of sample materials including various tissue specimens, body fluids, and swabs, especially for applications in the field of NGS and PCR based detection methods.

Samples evaluated for MolYsis™ Basic5 and MolYsis™ Complete5

  1. Human origin: Whole blood, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, ascites fluid, pus, broncho-alveolar lavage, nasal wash fluid, urine
  2. Animal origin (please refer to “Overview on animal-derived samples” for publications): Whole blood from mouse, rat, and monkey, Chinese hamster ovary cell culture, monkey renal cell culture

Sample evaluated for Ultra-Deep Microbiome Prep and Ultra-Deep Microbiome Prep10
  1. from either human or animal origin (see "Overview on animal-derived samples" for more details):
  1. Body fluids: ascites, BAL, blood, CSF, pleural fluid, pus, synovial fluid
  2. Tissues: abscesses, biopsies, heart valves, prostheses, stents

The kits are not validated for feces/stool samples. 
  1. Feces/stool contains a high load of inhibitors which would require a high dilution for processing.
