VIRAL RNA EXTRACTION FOR COVID-19

Ensuring Sample Preparation Excellence

From nucleic acid integrity and purification to genomic insights

Preserve sample integrity from the start- Our 510(k) cleared,
Guanidine free stabilization reagent technologies ensure nucleic acid integrity for reliable downstream results.

High-yield, high-purity DNA/RNA with ease. Our magnetic
bead-based reagent solutions provide superior recovery and quality for downstream success.

Better Sample, Better Data!
High-quality sample preparation reagents are essential for accurate sequencing. MagBio’s long-read sequencing (patent pending) and short-read sample preparation reagents reduce sequencing errors and bias, leading to reliable data.

Our paramagnetic bead-based sample preparation technologies support molecular diagnostics, pathogen surveillance, and infectious disease research by delivering consistent nucleic acid recovery, workflow compatibility, and scalable supply for reliable, high-performance detection workflows.

Applications

Viral/Bacterial RNA and DNA isolation for:

  • RT-qPCR; RT-PCR, PCR
  • One-Step RT-qPCR
  • Virus detection, genotyping
  • Viral load monitoring,

Benefits

  • OPTIMIZED FOR ISOLATION from BACTERIAL & VIRAL samples.
  • Rapid and reliable purification of nucleic acids
  • Adaptable to various automated liquid handling workstations
  • No toxic organic solvents

The HighPrep Viral-Bacterial DNA & RNA kit is designed for rapid and reliable isolation of viral & bacterial nucleic acids from whole blood, serum, plasma, saliva and other body fluids as well as nasopharyngeal swabs soaked in virus transport media or other buffers. This kit is highly efficient in vIral nucleic acid isolation and the extracted RNA (and DNA) is suitable for direct use in most downstream applications such as one-step RT-qPCR, RT-PCR, PCR, nucleic acid amplification, cloning, sequencing, and enzymatic reactions. The kit can be used in low throughput manual workflows and is also adaptable to majority of the liquid handling workstations in the market.

This is a short overview of the protocol, for all detailed protocols, please refer to PRODUCT DOCUMENTS
  1. Add the sample fluid into the well or tube.
  2. Add Lysis Buffer, Proteinase K and incubate at 56-60°C to perform cell lysis.
  3. Add NBE, isopropanol (Not Supplied) and MAG-S1 particles. Incubate and bind to nucleic acids 
  4. Perform one wash step with RDW Buffer (Mixed with 100% ethanol)
  5. Wash the beads 2 times with 70% ethanol (Not Supplied)
  6. Perform nucleic acid elution using supplied Nuclease-Free Water
  7. Store NA at -20°C
