CVX-Mag™ Viral RNA Extraction Kit (CE-IVD), based on Paramagnetic Beads technology,  is a designed for rapid manual and automated purification of Viral RNA from cell such as Serum, Plasma, Urine, Cell free body fluids, Cell Culture supernatants and Rinse liquid from swabs samples.

The extraction process includes an initial lysis step with the appropriate Buffer to ensure efficient lysis and nucleic acid release from the virus, Nucleic acid binding to the surface of the magnetic beads, washing and elution. Additionally, it includes the Carrier RNA that improves binding and recovery of low-concentrated viral RNA.

Advantages and Features

• Specifically validated for SARS-CoV-19 by Spanish Institution Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII)
• CE-IVD Certified for usage in in-vitro Diagnostics (License No.: 7817-PS).
• Compatible with Manual and Automated Extractions with KingFisher™ Flex.
• Best performance & Efficiency.
• Efficient.
• Cost-avoidance: no centrifugation required, which saves on equipment costs and increases portability of the technique.
• Fast results with minimal handling steps.
• Ready-to-use: viral RNA is suitable for use in RT-PCR and qRT-PCR.

CVX™ Viral RNA Extraction Kit has been validated for RNA isolation from SARS-CoV-19 clinical samples. 60 positive samples and 20 negative samples were collected from nasopharyngeal exudates and RNA isolation was made in parallel using it and a comparator kit. After RNA isolation qPCR was done using the protocol described by Corman VM et al, 2020, also known as “Charité protocol”. An internal mRNA co-isolated along with viral RNA was used as a positive control.
