Product Overview
Viral nucleic acid testing depends on the quality of the extraction step. Specimens such as swabs, feces, and tissues are complex, and carry proteins, nucleases, and other components that can inhibit amplification or sequencing, so a reliable purification method is essential for consistent results. The Magnetic Viral DNA/RNA Kit is designed for viral nucleic acid extraction from a broad range of specimen types, including swabs, tissues, feces, blood, serum, and plasma. It uses superparamagnetic nano-magnetic beads together with a proprietary buffer system, which enables efficient and specific binding of nucleic acids in the lysate to the magnetic beads. Handling viral DNA and RNA in one kit is convenient for laboratories that screen for different pathogen types and want a single extraction workflow. Because the beads are separated with a magnet instead of centrifugation or vacuum filtration, the format is straightforward to use manually and easy to adapt to higher-throughput processing. The extracted nucleic acids have high purity and stable quality, free of proteins, nucleases, and impurities that may inhibit downstream applications. They are suitable for subsequent experiments including PCR, real-time PCR, NGS, and biochip analysis.

Product Features
- Wide specimen compatibility: The kit works with swabs, tissues, feces, blood, serum, plasma, and other samples, reducing the need for sample-specific extraction kits in pathogen screening and research laboratories.
- Superparamagnetic nano-magnetic bead purification: Superparamagnetic nano-beads and a proprietary buffer system bind nucleic acids efficiently and specifically from the lysate, and magnetic separation avoids centrifugation steps.
- Clean nucleic acids for sensitive downstream assays: The extracted nucleic acids are free of proteins, nucleases, and impurities that may inhibit downstream reactions, supporting PCR, real-time PCR, NGS, and biochip analysis.
FAQ
Q1: What specimen types is this kit compatible with?
The kit is designed for viral nucleic acid extraction from swabs, tissues, feces, blood, serum, plasma, and other samples.
Q2: How does the magnetic bead format work, and what is its advantage?
Nucleic acids in the lysate bind to superparamagnetic nano-magnetic beads in the presence of a proprietary buffer system. The beads are then separated with a magnet, so there is no need for centrifugation or vacuum filtration. This simplifies handling and makes the workflow easier to scale to larger sample numbers.
Q3: What downstream applications is the purified nucleic acid suitable for?
The extracted nucleic acids have high purity and stable quality, free of proteins, nucleases, and impurities that may inhibit downstream applications. They are suitable for PCR, real-time PCR, NGS, and biochip analysis.
