Viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), can cause serious health issues and play an important role in molecular biology and biomedical research. Having the right tools is critical for scientific discovery for COVID-19, including the efficient isolation of viral DNA/RNA with high purity and integrity, which is often a challenge. The Axygen® AxyPrep MAG Viral Nucleic Acid Purification Kit utilises a unique paramagnetic beads-based system for the purification of viral nucleic acid from samples such as plasma, serum, ascites, cell culture supernatant, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine.

It is suitable for the following downstream applications:

• PCR including RT-PCR and RT-qPCR
• Sanger and next generation sequencing
• Genotyping and SNP detection
• Gene expression

Product features:

• Simple extraction process
• Compatible with genomics downstream applications
• High quality, high yield nucleic acid purification
• Can be automated or used manually
