Fast and sensitive automated viral RNA extraction and SARS-CoV-2 detection

SARS-CoV-2 is a single-stranded RNA virus. For accurate and sensitive coronavirus detection, viral RNA must be reliably isolated from the sample.

In this application note, MP Biomedicals demonstrates how the MPure-12 Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction Platform can be used in combination with an MPure Viral Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit for the medium throughput extraction of viral RNA from swabs, in less than one hour.
