If we learned one thing from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is the fact that the world requires quick and dependable methods for identifying pathogens. Timely detection of emerging pathogens allows for the implementation of suitable preventive measures. Moreover, in the case of an infected patient, prompt identification of the pathogen is crucial to deliver the correct treatment. Our Clean Quick Viral DNA/RNA is the solution for extraction of viral DNA and RNA from nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab samples. The reagent is compatible with swabs preserved in an inactivating viral transport medium. With its CE-IVD marking and efficient protocol, the Clean Quick Viral DNA/RNA serves as an ideal starting point for virus identification workflows. Benefits Easy automation For use in diagnostic procedures (CE-IVD) Fast and efficient Fit for downstream (q)PCR Applications The Clean Quick Viral DNA/RNA can be used for the extraction of respiratory DNA and/or RNA viruses from nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab samples. Examples of viruses are Adeno virus, RSV, Influenza A and SARS-CoV-2. Extracted viral DNA and/or RNA is suitable to be used directly in downstream detection methods based on (q)PCR, the method of choice for most diagnostic laboratories. The extraction process begins by adding the swab sample in viral transport medium to Clean Quick Viral DNA/RNA. Magnetic particles present in the reagent bind DNA and RNA, and a magnetic separation device separates the complex from the solution. Following three ethanol washes to remove contaminants, purified DNA and/or RNA is eluted from the magnetic particles using nuclease-free water or a low ionic strength buffer.
