Accutest Universal Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction and Purification Kit
The Accutest Universal Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction and Purification Kit provides a rapid, reliable magnetic-bead method for isolating total pathogen nucleic acids from a broad range of specimen types.
Supported specimens include nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, aspirates and washes; bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid; tracheal aspirates; plasma and serum; urine; and nail specimens.
Purified DNA/RNA is suitable for PCR, qRT-PCR and other downstream molecular applications. The protocol is compatible with major automated liquid-handling platforms, including KingFisher, Biomek and Hamilton, as well as other compatible magnetic-bead systems.
Universal Magnetic-Bead Purification
The kit combines specimen lysis, magnetic binding, washing and elution reagents in a scalable 96-well format. The workflow may be performed using a 96-well magnetic rack or implemented on a compatible automated liquid-handling platform.
Suitable Specimen Types
The Accutest Universal Pathogen Kit supports multiple clinical specimen types. Follow the current Instructions for Use for specimen-specific preparation and pretreatment requirements.
Automation Compatibility
The protocol is compatible with major automated liquid-handling platforms, including KingFisher, Biomek and Hamilton. It may also be implemented on other compatible magnetic-bead systems.
Workflow Overview
The Accutest Universal Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction and Purification Kit uses a straightforward magnetic-bead workflow:
- Prepare and lyse the specimen according to the applicable specimen instructions.
- Bind pathogen nucleic acids to the magnetic beads.
- Magnetize and wash to remove residual contaminants.
- Dry the magnetic beads and elute the purified DNA/RNA.
- Proceed to PCR, qRT-PCR or another downstream molecular application.
Always follow the current Instructions for Use for reagent preparation, required volumes, incubation conditions, specimen pretreatment and safety requirements.
The Accutest Universal Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction and Purification Kit is available in scalable configurations for different laboratory volumes.
