​Lysing cells from human urine samples with PCRopsis 5x Cell Lysis Buffer + heating followed by processing with PCRopsis Cell for just 10 minutes allows for the detection of bacterial targets to a degree that's comparable or superior to QIAamp® DNA Kit.  No amplification was observed when the lysate was directly placed into the PCR mixture without pre-incubation with PCRopsis Cell or DNA isolated using QIAamp® DNA Kit. 
​
Note: PCR study used PCRopsis 5x PCR Master Mix (cat. no. PMM001) and PCRopsis 5x Cell Lysis Buffer (cat. no. PCL001)
