EmerTher® Magnetic Viral NA Extraction Kit
Used to extract both viral DNA and RNA from biological samples, so it has a broader application and can be used in molecular diagnosis of both DNA and RNA viruses.
The kits are composed of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and an efficient extraction reagent system. With unique surface modification, the magnetic beads form strong binding with nucleic acids and also enable easy elution. Extracted nucleic acids can be used directly in the subsequent molecular diagnostics, including RT-PCR testing.
Features:
1) Rapid Extraction: 12-20 min to complete viral NA extraction process; no need to use proteinase K for RNA extraction;
2) High Extraction Efficiency: extract trace nucleic acids (<10 IU/mL), protect easily degradable RNA, and reduce false negative results;
3) Biosafe: no need for lysis at high temperature, reducing the formation of aerosol and the risk for infection of professional personnel; free of toxic organic reagents such as phenol and chloroform;
4) Reducing Cross-contamination: aerosol reduction can reduce cross-contamination and false positive results;
5) Designed for Automation: Prefilled plates can be used on Emerther® automatic nucleic acid extraction instruments and are also compatible with most other nucleic acid extraction instruments/liquid handlers on the market.
Product formats:
1) Bottle format (100 preps/box, contains reagents in bottles)
2) Prefilled-plate formats (96 preps/box, contain plates which are prefilled with reagents and tip combs)
