Product Overview
Viral nucleic acid testing starts with the quality of the extraction. Clinical and research specimens such as blood, swabs, and tissue homogenates contain proteins, nucleases, and other components that can inhibit downstream amplification or degrade low-abundance viral targets, so a reliable purification step is essential for consistent results. The Spin Viral DNA/RNA Kit is designed for simple, rapid, and efficient isolation and purification of DNA and RNA from a range of specimen types, including whole blood, tissue homogenate, swabs, and cell-free body fluids such as serum and plasma. Handling both viral DNA and RNA in one kit is convenient for laboratories that screen for different pathogen types and want a single extraction workflow. A unique buffer system enables highly efficient and specific binding of viral nucleic acids in the lysate to silica-membrane spin columns. The purified viral nucleic acids have high purity and stable quality, free of proteins, nucleases, and other contaminants. They are suitable for various routine applications, including PCR and real-time PCR.
