- High-throughput, magnetic-bead based purification of pathogen (virus, bacteria, protozoa) DNA/RNA from a wide variety of vectors (mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, etc.) and tissue types (mammals, birds, etc.)
- High-quality DNA/RNA is ready for Next-Gen sequencing, RT/qPCR, hybridization, etc.
- DNA/RNA Shield included for sample collection, inactivation and storage
Quick-DNA/RNA Pathogen MagBead kit is designed for high-throughput purification of pathogen (virus, bacteria, protozoa) DNA and RNA from a wide variety of vectors (mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, etc.) and tissue types (mammals, birds, etc.) collected, transported and stored in DNA/RNA Shield™. DNA/RNA Shield is used for nucleic acid preservation and inactivation of pathogens.
The kit features a storage/lysis buffer system and can be combined with high density ZR BashingBead™ Lysis Tubes (*recommended) to facilitate complete homogenization of hard-to-lyse samples for efficient nucleic acid isolation. Small (>50 nt) and large (> 200 kb) DNA and RNA are bound to magnetic beads, washed and then eluted.
The isolated high-quality nucleic acids are suitable for all downstream applications such as Next-Gen sequencing, hybridization-based and RT/qPCR detection.
