Making DNA Accessible for Livestock, Poultry & Farm Animals
Climate change, growing population, and increasing demands for sufficient nutrition — the need to optimize animal breeding is paramount to meet the global food demand. Next-generation technologies are common practices for studying genotypes, gene expression, and epigenetics to evaluate genetic influences on traits and diseases of animals used as food.
Large-scale processing of many of samples requires DNA extraction that is fast, cost-effective, and results in high yield and excellent purity — processing that is often accomplished with a time-consuming, laborious and costly procedure. Difficult-to-extract samples, such as blood or tissue from cattle, horses, and pigs, often produce low DNA quality and yield. In addition, DNA extraction solutions are needed that are suitable to use with a variety of animal species and sample types.
BioEcho is committed to providing nucleic acid extraction solutions for animal breeding and veterinary research that are simple, scalable, and affordable. Our solutions enable breeders and researchers to conveniently extract animal DNA in less time, with fewer handling steps, at higher throughput, and in superior quality — for a wide range of animal species and sample types.
One technology, multiple species
Make DNA accessible even from difficult-to-extract species, tissues and sample types.
High DNA quality and yield
Even from difficult-to-extract species and tissues — for reliable and reproducible downstream applications
Simplify Workflow
Less hands-on time and half the protocol steps of common methods.
Increase throughput
Significantly faster nucleic acid extraction than conventional methods.
Flexible throughputs
Medium- or high-throughput solutions provide the best flexibility and highest cost efficiency.
Easy integration
Simple to integrate into routine and automated applications.
Increase purity & yield across different animal species
Extracting DNA from many types of animal samples often results in unfavorable gDNA yields and purity for downstream applications. The root cause of reduced yield is often differences in cell numbers, for example in blood and tissue, between animal species.
BioEcho’s EchoLUTION extraction technology involves a lysis step that is tailored to various animal sample types, allowing efficient lysis and purification as well as avoiding carryover of contaminants.
Particularly in experiments where sensitivity is of high importance (such as qPCR with limited sample material), EchoLUTION-purified DNA outperforms silica-based technology.
Up to five-fold more DNA yield than with silica-based kits
No toxic substances or chaotropic salts, which inhibit downstream applications.
The fastest & simplest animal DNA extraction
Tedious bind–wash–elute procedures build a bottleneck in daily routines. Our EchoLUTION technology relies on single-step nucleic acid isolation with a one-minute centrifugation. Nucleic acids pass through the purification matrix without interaction, while impurities are held back and are completely removed. Different from the conventional silica-based bind–wash–elute nucleic acid extraction method, our technology allows today’s fastest and simplest plant DNA extraction with highest purity.
Process 96 samples in less than 1 hour
Half the steps of common methods

Making DNA Accessible Even from Difficult Samples
Developing healthier, more efficient crops to cope with increasing population and environmental changes is a major focus in plant breeding and research. Targeted genotyping, microarrays and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are standards to unravel genetic markers linked to plant traits, diseases or breeding decisions.
The prerequisite of reliable and reproducible DNA analyses is the extraction of high-quality genomic DNA — a time-consuming, laborious, and costly endeavor with most procedures. Difficult-to-extract plants and tissues, such as grape, oak, ash or mango leaves, present challenges based on their unique structure and molecular make-up. In addition, DNA extraction solutions that are suitable for multiple plant species and tissues are needed.
BioEcho is dedicated to support researchers and breeders to make plant DNA extraction fast and incredibly easy with the quality and yield needed for downstream applications — and that is also suitable for a wide range of plant species and tissues.

High purity& yield from a broad range of plant types
Extracting and purifying DNA from plant cells present unique challenges, often resulting in unfavorable gDNA yield and purity for downstream applications. Rigid plant cell walls must be lysed appropriately to expose the cytoplasm. Native DNA contaminants, such as polysaccharides, proteins and polyphenols, affect the quality and yield of the DNA isolated and can inhibit downstream enzymatic reactions.
BioEcho’s extraction technology involves a lysis step that is tailored to the specific type of plant sample allowing efficient lysis and purification and avoiding carryover of contaminants.
Up to fivefold more DNA yield than with silica-based plant kits
No native DNA contaminants
No toxic substances or chaotropic salts, which inhibit downstream applications.
