The Quick-RNA™ viral kit is a quick, purification system for viral RNA from plasma, serum, cell culture media, cellular suspensions, urine, blood, saliva and any other biological samples stored in DNA/RNA Shield™.

• Quick, spin-column purification of viral RNA from plasma, serum, CSF, cell culture media, cellular suspensions, urine, blood, saliva, swab, fecal
• RNA is ready for Next-Gen sequencing, RT/PCR, hybridization
• DNA/RNA Shield™ is included for nucleic acid stability during sample storage/transport at ambient temperatures

DNA/RNA Shield™ ensures nucleic acid stability during sample storage/transport at ambient temperatures (4 - 25 °C). The reagent effectively lyses cells and inactivates nucleases and infectious agents (virus).

The kit also features a specialized buffer system that facilitates complete viral particle lysis for efficient RNA isolation from samples containing enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, HIV, HCV, influenza A virus, flaviviruses, measles virus, parainfluenza virus, parvovirus (a ssDNA virus), etc. Viral RNA is bound to the column, washed and eluted. The isolated high-quality viral RNA is ready for all downstream applications such as Next-Gen sequencing, hybridization-based and RT/PCR detection.
