The Kit follows a magnetic bead-based approach for the rapid and reliable isolation of viral RNA/DNA from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens that are dry or in viral transport media (VTM). Description The Kit follows a magnetic bead-based approach for the rapid and reliable isolation of viral RNA/DNA from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens that are dry or in viral transport media (VTM). The extraction methodology is easily adaptable to various automated systems and can also be scaled up or down depending on the amount of starting sample amount used. The kit enables purification of high-quality nucleic acids that are free of proteins, nucleases, and other impurities. Nucleic acid isolated by the kit is stable with good integrity and purity, and can be directly used in downstream molecular biology experiments such as PCR and real time qPCR, and next generation sequencing. Keys *  Magnetic bead-based purification * High-quality nucleic acid can be obtained range from 10 min to 40min (up to different protocol). * High throughput: Can be integrated with magnetic rod method automatic instrument or pipetting method automatic instrument to carry out high throughput extraction experiment. *  Safe and nontoxic: No toxic organic reagents such as phenol/chloroform are needed. *  Complete removal of contaminants and PCR inhibitors for downstream experiments.
