## Protocol
*Location: Biological safety cabinet acceptable for BSL2 work should be used. Remember that samples, especially those from humans could contain a wide variety of pathogens and should be treated with universal caution. After extraction, all pathogens will have been deactivated and samples instead need to be protected from outside contamination*
-- [ ] Treat extraction area with UV ~15 minutes or 0.5% bleach.
-- [ ] Add 750 µL beta-mercaptoethanol to 150mL bottle of MagBinding Buffer *(0.5% (v/v) i.e., 500 µl per 100 ml)*
-- [ ] Transfer ~50 mg or half fecal pellet, or 200µL liquid sample into lysing tube or plate.
-- [ ] Add 650 µL ZymoBIOMICS lysis solution if using lysing rack, add 750 µL if using individual tubes.
-- [ ] Disrupt for 5 minutes in Biospec beadbeater (be sure that it is completely tightened and put a folded up large kimwipe under the lid to keep pressure on the strip lids if using strips)

## QC
-Spot check samples and negative controls using Nanodrop and/or Qubit. Successful (high biomass) samples should be >5ng/µL with a 260/280>1.6 and 260/230>1.4. If the 260/230 is <1.4, Nanodrop quantification is not accurate and Qubit should be used instead. **Yield is not an indicator of evenness of extraction.**
