The PuroMAG™ viral DNA RNA purification kit makes viral nucleic acid isolation fast and easy. This product is designed for the efficient extraction of viral genomic nucleic acids (both DNA and RNA) from a range of sample types, including:

• Blood, plasma, and serum
• Nasal, throat, and buccal swabs
• Saliva

The technology is based on the strong binding affinity of nucleic acids to silica-coated magnetic beads. This process is simple, does not require the use of phenol or chloroform, and eliminates the need for centrifugation. The kit’s buffer formulations are optimized to bind both DNA and RNA, making it suitable for a wide variety of DNA and RNA viruses.

The flexible protocols allow for both:

• Manual purification using magnetic racks.
• High-throughput automated purification with compatible liquid handling systems.

The high-quality extracted DNA and RNA can be used for a variety of downstream applications, including:

• Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR)
• Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR)
• Sequencing
