Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit

What is DNA/RNA Extraction Kit?

Viral Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit is designed for efficient purification of viral DNA and viral RNA cell-free samples such as serum, plasma, body fluids and supernatants of virus-infected cell cultures. The high-efficiency glass fiber spin column system targets various DNA and RNA viruses such as HBV, CMV, HCV, HIV, and HTLV. Viral DNA/RNA copies can be purified from 200 µl serum in 101-109 minutes. This purified virus DNA/RNA can be used directly for qPCR and qRT-PCR detection.

Here, you'll find a range of nucleic acid extraction products that produce high yields of high-quality genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, RNA or total nucleic acid from a variety of sample types. We also offer products for purification and concentration of DNA or RNA from dilution solutions, gel sections or PCR.

Nucleic Acid Extraction Basics

Extraction of DNA, RNA, or total nucleic acids from samples such as blood, cultured cells, microorganisms, or animal and plant tissue is critical to the success of many experiments. The purity and yield of extracted nucleic acids are critical to the performance of downstream applications such as PCR and sequencing.

During purification, all samples go through a common set of operations: cell lysis, clearing, nuclease inactivation, nucleic acid binding, washing and elution.

Optimization of extraction methods is critical to success, especially for challenging sample types and demanding downstream applications. Target nucleic acids should be purified and free of contaminants, including proteins, other cellular components, and unwanted nucleic acids.

Most DNA extraction methods purify DNA from other cellular materials by binding the DNA to a solid support such as silica or cellulose, purify the extracted DNA from contaminants by washing, and then elute the purified DNA to in water or buffer.
