RNA Isolation and Coronavirus Detection:
Coronavirus testing is playing a significant role in controlling the spread of infection and also prevent community transmission. Testing, Tracing, and Isolation are three prominent public health measures in addition to social distancing, which are proving to be an effective strategy in the containment of COVID-19. The rapid surge in the cases and deaths due to coronavirus is troubling the top health professionals and Corona warriors involved in the treatment of infection. Testing remains an essential and effective measure to control the transmission of the virus. Real-time PCR methodology is being used to confirm coronavirus in suspected as well as asymptomatic patients. Real-time PCR analysis requires a significant amount of RNA. Therefore, RNA isolation is of paramount importance.
Genes2Me Mag-II RNA Kit:
Genes2Me, one of the thought leaders in advanced molecular diagnostics and genetic testing, has PAN India presence and has been at the forefront of the nation’s fight against COVID-19. Genes2me, with its Mag RNA-II kit, has made this step easier for the labs involved in coronavirus testing. The kit provides the most appropriate quality and quantity of RNA required for Real TIME PCR analysis. The kit also helps in removing excess impurities in the form of proteins and provides optimum RNA for various protocols. Carrier RNA is also included in the kit that helps in enhancing the quality of eluted RNA. The kit is based on magnetic nanoparticle technology that helps in adsorption of viral RNA and discards the impurities such as proteins, which may interfere with the nucleic acid. Further, the adsorbed nucleic acid is washed with a washing solution provided in the kit to remove additional impurities that may be present along with proteins.
Washing also takes place with the help of ethanol to remove the excess amount of salts. Finally, the buffer present in the kit helps in the elution of RNA. The eluted RNA can be stored under standard conditions and can be used for Real-Time PCR and other protocols of virus detection. The magnetic nanoparticle technology implied in the kit allows 95-100% recovery of RNA. The kit can be used for manual as well as automated extraction of RNA. The kit is compatible with top-notch machines present in the market such as MGISP-100B Automated Nucleic Acid extraction system, Kingfisher Flex, and MGISP-960 High-throughput Automated Nucleic acid extraction system.
Accreditations:
Genes2me COVID-10 solutions are indigenously made and manufactured at high class facility by the competent scientific team. Mag RNA-II kit is accredited with ICMR-NIV, CE IVD, GMP and ISO13485 certified.
Type of samples:
The kit can be used to isolate RNA from human serum, oral and nasal swabs, & bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Nucleic Acid isolation is essential, and it is a prerequisite requirement for Real-Time PCR and other necessary protocols that are required for coronavirus detection. Genes2Me, Mag RNA-II kit can help in the extraction of viral RNA from clinical specimens containing Coronavirus. This significant breakthrough in obtaining high-quality RNA can boost the Coronavirus testing process leading to effective containment of virus infection. With approvals and accreditations from top nodal agencies of the country involved in combating Coronavirus, the kit can be used by various hospitals and labs involved in COVID-19 testing.
