Beating DSS Inhibition: Reliable DNA Extraction From Fecal Sample

About the Webinar

DSS-induced colitis models are widely used in IBD research — but fecal samples from these studies are often highly inhibitor-rich and challenging to process. Low DNA yield, poor purity, and PCR inhibition can compromise downstream analysis and reproducibility.

In this technical webinar, we will share practical, workflow-based strategies to improve nucleic acid extraction from tough fecal matrices, including:

  • How to overcome nucleic acid extraction challenges in DSS-induced IBD fecal samples
  • Practical lysis preservation, and extraction strategies for inhibitor-rich stool matrices
  • How to improve DNA yield, purity, and downstream results with DSS samples for microbiome and multi-omics studies
