QIAsymphony Virus/Bacteria Kits
QIAsymphony Virus/Bacteria Kits provide automated purification of viral nucleic acids and bacterial DNA from a broad range of sample types on the QIAsymphony SP. For example, nucleic acids can be purified from plasma, serum, CSF, respiratory samples, urine, urogenital swabs, and transport media. Kits are available in mini and midi format for sample volumes of 200 μl and up to 1000 μl. Optimized protocols provide high yields of pure nucleic acids, and flexible elution volumes allow nucleic acid concentration to be easily optimized for each downstream application. Prefilled reagent cartridges reduce setup time and minimize manual handling. Bar code reading enables full tracking of reagents.
