Nucleic acid contamination from extraction reagents can introduce foreign genetic material into samples, leading to misinterpretation of microbiome data, potentially leading to erroneous conclusions and compromising the validity of research or clinical findings.
Dr. Po Ren Hsueh conducted a comprehensive investigation into the background microflora in common DNA extraction reagents used for metagenomic sequencing.
The study, featured at ASM Microbe 2024, showed:
Our technologies enrich the understanding of microorganisms through innovative metagenomic collection devices, novel host depletion, NGS-grade reagents, advanced metagenomic sequencing assays, plus rapid bioinformatic software.
