Applied Biosystems™ MagMAX™ Viral RNA Isolation Kit, 50 Preps

The Applied Biosystems™ MagMAX™ Viral RNA Isolation Kit is designed for the efficient purification of viral RNA and DNA from a variety of cell-free biological samples including plasma, serum, swabs, and cell culture media. Optimized for qRT-PCR compatibility, this magnetic bead–based method eliminates the need for organic solvents or RNA precipitation, reducing common issues such as filter clogging, large elution volumes, and inconsistent yields.

The kit delivers high recovery efficiency, superior purity, and excellent reproducibility, making it ideal for molecular diagnostics, research, and veterinary applications involving low-titer viral samples.

Key Features

• High Recovery and Reproducibility: Efficiently isolates viral RNA and DNA from up to 400 µL of sample with >75% typical recovery.
• Magnetic Bead-Based Purification: Avoids clogging and large elution volumes typical of filter-based methods.
• Enhanced Lysis and Binding Efficiency: Improved viral particle disruption ensures maximum nucleic acid yield.
• PCR-Ready RNA: Produces high-quality RNA compatible with real-time RT-PCR and qPCR applications.
• Wide Sample Compatibility: Suitable for plasma, serum, swabs, and other cell-free biological fluids.
• Fast and Simple Workflow: Complete RNA isolation in approximately 45 minutes.
• No Organic Solvents Required: Safer, cleaner workflow for consistent molecular testing results.
