The Quick-RNA™ Viral and Quick-DNA/RNA™ Viral Kits provide for rapid isolation of high-quality viral nucleic acids from a wide range of biological sources. It can be used to successfully isolate from cell-free body fluids as well as cellular suspensions. The kit has been rigorously tested and used to isolate viral nucleic acids from samples containing enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, HIV, HCV, influenza A virus, flaviviruses, measles virus, parainfluenza virus and parvovirus (a ssDNA virus).The kits employ a single buffer system that facilitates viral particle lysis and allows for subsequent DNA/RNA binding. The nucleic acids are washed then eluted with DNase/RNase-Free Water. The eluted DNA and RNA are suitable for use in various subsequent procedures including RT-PCR.
Quick recovery of viral RNA from plasma, serum and other samples.
Omits the use of organic denaturants and proteases.
High-quality viral RNA is ready for RT-PCR, sequencing, etc.
