foodproof® Sample Preparation Kit IV
The foodproof Sample Preparation Kit IV is optimized for the isolation and purification of viral DNA and RNA from various food and water samples.
Principle
- The foodproof Sample Preparation Kit IV lysis buffer extracts the DNA / RNA out of virus particles.
- Absolute ethanol removes the hydration shell from nucleic acids.
- DNA / RNA is than bound to the glass fibers of pre-packed filter tubes.
- With the wash buffer I and II DNA / RNA will be cleaned and purified.
- At the final step DNA / RNA is recovered using the elution buffer and stabilized by a ribonuclease inhibitor.
Features
- Isolation of purified viral DNA / RNA.
- The DNA / RNA is suitable for all qualitative and quantitative applications on many real-time PCR devices.
- Variable sample-extraction volumes up to 500 µl.
- Designed and validated for many food matrices, including some with inhibitors (e.g. soft fruits and mussels).
