Product Details

The QIAamp DSP Virus Spin Kit provides silica-based DNA and RNA copurification. The kit is for labs that wish to process viral nucleic acids from plasma or serum for in vitro diagnostic use. The QIAamp DSP Virus Spin Kit may be used with a microcentrifuge or may be automated on the QIAcube Connect MDx.

The QIAGEN QIAcube Connect MDx is not available in all countries. For further details, please contact QIAGEN Technical Service.

Performance

The simple QIAamp DSP Virus Spin procedure, which is suitable for simultaneous processing of multiple samples, yields purified nucleic acids in less than 1 hour. Purified viral nucleic acids are ready for use in downstream applications or for storage at –20°C.

Principle

The QIAamp DSP Virus Spin Kit provides silica-based viral DNA and RNA copurification using a spin procedure.

Procedure

The QIAamp DSP Virus Spin Kit procedure includes 4 steps: lyse, bind, wash and elute. The kit provides rapid, reliable viral DNA and RNA purification while minimizing cross-contamination risks (see flowchart, " Procedure "). The purification can be fully automated on the QIAcube Connect MDx. If automating the QIAamp DSP Virus Spin Kit on the QIAcube Connect MDx instrument, may process fewer than 50 samples due to dead volumes, evaporation, and additional reagent consumption by automated pipetting. QIAGEN only guarantees 50 sample preps with manual use of the QIAamp DSP Virus Spin Kit.

Applications

The QIAamp DSP Virus Spin Kit provides co-purification of RNA and DNA from human plasma and serum.
