Auto-Mag® Viral/Pathogen DNA/RNA Isolation Kit
Product Information
Auto-Mag® Viral/Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction Kit utilizes advanced magnetic bead technology for rapid and reliable extraction of total nucleic acids from viruses and other pathogens. The kit is compatible with a wide range of biological samples, including whole blood, serum, plasma, swabs, saliva, urine, and other body fluids. Optimized lysis and binding conditions, combined with the reversible nucleic acid-binding properties of Auto-Mag® magnetic beads, enable efficient capture and recovery of viral and pathogen DNA and RNA while effectively removing contaminants. The purified nucleic acids are ready for direct use in downstream applications, including PCR, qPCR, RT-qPCR, ddPCR, nucleic acid amplification, enzymatic reactions, and next-generation sequencing (NGS), without additional purification.
Designed for both manual and automated processing, Auto-Mag® Viral/Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction Kit provides a flexible and scalable solution for routine nucleic acid extraction and high-throughput sample preparation across a broad range of research and molecular testing applications. For detailed automation protocols and platform-specific operating instructions, including protocols for the KingFisher™ system, please contact AMD Biotech Technical Support at support@amdbiotech.com.
Features
- Simultaneous Viral RNA & DNA Purification
One streamlined workflow enables recovery of both viral RNA and viral DNA without requiring separate extraction procedures. - Efficient Nucleic Acid Recovery
Optimized magnetic bead chemistry provides reliable capture and recovery of viral nucleic acids, including low-abundance targets - Efficient Inhibitor Removal
