What is the difference between the QIAamp MinElute Virus Spin and the MinElute Virus Vacuum Kit?
Aside from the obvious difference of using a centrifuge versus a vacuum manifold for sample processing, the QIAamp MinElute Virus Spin Kit requires sample volumes of 200 ul, whereas the QIAamp MinElute Virus Vacuum Kit can process 500 ul of sample due to Extension tubes provided in the kit.

QIAamp MinElute Virus Kits simplify viral DNA and RNA purification with fast spin-column and vacuum procedures. The kits use starting sample volumes of up to 0.2 ml and combine the selective binding properties of a silica-based membrane with flexible elution volumes of between 20 and 150 μl. The QIAamp MinElute Virus Spin process can be fully automated on the QIAcube Connect. The additional buffers and reagents in the QIAamp MinElute Virus Accessory are required for automation of the QIAamp MinElute Virus Spin procedure.
