Overview

The RTP® DNA/RNA Virus Mini Kit contains the pre-filled Extraction Tubes with lyophilized lysis components for viral DNA and RNA isolation from a diverse range of starting materials. After lysis the samples are transferred to a spin column-based procedure with a total preparation time of PCR/ RT-PCR templates in just 25 minutes.

Benefits

• Simple „One-Step-Lysis“ in the pre-filled Extraction Tube with lyophilized lysis components (lysis buffer, Proteinase K, Carrier RNA); Extraction Tubes can be stored at room temperature

• Sensitive and accurate results at low viral titers

• For In Vitro Diagnostic Use (CE-IVD)*

• One kit for both DNA and RNA viral purification allowing simultaneous testing of both virus types

Product Characteristics

Workflow

Using the RTP DNA/RNA Virus Mini Kit the sample is lysed in the pre-filled Extraction Tube containing lyophilized lysis reagents and carrier nucleic acid. The lysis reagents further stabilize the viral nucleic acids, inactivate RNases and DNases and enhance the selective DNA /RNA adsorption to the membrane of the Spin Filter. Before the viral nucleic acids are eluted, the membranes are efficiently washed in order to completely remove all PCR inhibitors.
