The Maxwell 16 Viral Total Nucleic Acid Purification Kit is designed for automated extraction of viral total nucleic acid (RNA and DNA) from serum, plasma or other samples using the Maxwell 16 Instrument.

• Kit Provides General Purpose Viral Total Nucleic Acid Extraction from Serum, Plasma, and Other Sample Types
• Purified Nucleic Acids May Be Used in Applications Such as qPCR and qRT-PCR
• Single Kit and Protocol for Multiple Sample Types
• No Detectable Cross-Contamination

These sample types are commonly processed in molecular microbiology or virology areas of molecular diagnostics

The simple protocol involves three main steps. First, lysis buffer and proteinase K are mixed to prepare a lysis solution. Second, lysis solution is mixed with sample. Third, the lysate is added into the cartridges. Purified viral total nucleic acids are ready for analysis in approximately 45 minutes.

The kit contains all the necessary reagents in a convenient prefilled cartridge format.
