Product Details

The EZ1 DSP Virus Kit contains all required reagents and labware for automated purification of viral nucleic acids and bacterial DNA from human serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), stool and nasopharyngeal swabs in UTM using magnetic-particle technology. Reagents are supplied in prefilled reagent cartridges, which ensures speed and convenience in loading the EZ2 Connect MDx or the EZ1 Advanced XL . The EZ1 DSP Virus Kit provides exact performance specifications, assuring highly reliable viral nucleic acid purification.

Performance

High analytical sensitivity with lower detection limits

The EZ1 DSP Virus Kit provides simultaneous purification of viral nucleic acids and bacterial DNA from human serum, plasma, CSF, stool and nasopharyngeal swabs in UTM. Efficient purification of viral RNA and DNA results in sensitive analytical detection in polymerase chain reaction (PCR), on a variety of real-time thermal cyclers.

Procedure

The EZ2 Connect MDx or the EZ1 Advanced XL in combination with the proven EZ1 DSP Virus Kit enables purification of viral nucleic acids and bacterial DNA from 1–24 (EZ2 Connect MDx) or 1–14 (EZ1 Advanced XL) samples of human serum, plasma, CSF, stool and nasopharyngeal swabs in UTM. All processing steps are performed by the instrument, from piercing the reagent cartridge to elution of highly pure nucleic acids. The innovative design of the instrument means that the pipet tips function as separation chambers, increasing the efficiency of magnetic purification and eliminating the need for centrifugation steps. The streamlined procedure provides robust walkaway purification of nucleic acids with minimal hands-on time.

Applications

With the EZ2 Connect MDx or the combination of the EZ1 Advanced XL DSP Virus Card and the EZ1 Advanced XL, the EZ1 DSP Virus Kit provides a fully automated procedure for simultaneous purification of viral nucleic acids and bacterial DNA from human serum, plasma, CSF, stool and nasopharyngeal swabs in UTM. Viral nucleic acids purified using the EZ1 DSP Virus Kit are ready to use in downstream diagnostic assays based on enzymatic amplification, such as PCR and RT-PCR.
