This silica spin-column-based kit enables efficient isolation of high-quality viral nucleic acids in just 45 minutes, ideal for downstream applications like RT-PCR, qPCR, and NGS.
Key Features
- High Sensitivity:
- Elution volumes as low as 10–50 μL maximize nucleic acid concentration for sensitive downstream analysis.
- Versatile Sample Compatibility:
- Suitable for fresh or frozen cell-free biological fluids, including plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, raw and stabilized saliva, nasopharyngeal viral transfer medium (NPVTM), and cell culture supernatants.
- Quick Workflow:
- Purification process completed in approximately 45 minutes per prep.
- Spin Column-Based Centrifugation:
- Avoids sample cross-contamination and ensures reproducible results.
- High Yield:
- Recover up to 5 μg of viral RNA/DNA per prep with excellent purity.
