The FLAME BEADS Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit TESTED AND VALIDATED FOR RNA EXTRACTION OF SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

The FLAME BEADS Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit is designed for the rapid and efficient isolation of viral DNA and RNA from serum, swabs, plasma, saliva, and other body fluids.

The magnetic beads technology enables the isolation of high-quality nucleic acids that are free of proteins, nucleases, and other impurities. The purified nucleic acids are ready for direct use in downstream applications such as Next-Gen sequencing, hybridization-based, and RT/qPCR detection.

The FLAME BEADS Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit is compatible with the most common automated systems.

– TECAN Freedom EVO

– Allsheng Auto-Pure

– Masmec Biomed OMNIA

– Perkin Elmer Chemagic 360

– Thermofisher Kingfisher

– Applied Biosystems MagMax

– Qiagen BioSprint

– Tecan DreamPrep NAP

The FLAME BEADS Viral DNA/RNA Extraction kit is based on a proprietary technology DNA/RNA viruses are lysed quickly and efficiently using the lysis buffer, which is a highly concentrated solution of chaotropic salt. When combined with isopropanol, the FLAME BEADS Lysis buffer creates optimum conditions for nucleic acid binding to the BEADS magnetic beads. Contaminants such as salts, metabolites, and soluble macromolecular cellular components are removed in the wash process . The nucleic acids are eluted in RNase-DNase free water and are then ready for use in subsequent reactions, including Real-Time PCR, Sanger Sequencing, NGS, PCR, and other enzymatic reactions.

The detection limit for certain viruses depends on the sensitivity of the individual PCR or RT-PCR assays. The kit is approved for COVID-19 diagnosis by the laboratory of U.O. Microbiologia, Laboratorio Unico del Centro Servizi, AUSL della Romagna. The adaptability of the kit to the most common automatized system is also under validation. Due to the great demand for reagents for RNA extraction in the period of COVID-19 emergency, GVS also offers a big size for the analysis
of 8×96 samples.
