Quick-DNA/RNA Pathogen MagBead kit is designed for high-throughput purification of pathogen (virus, bacteria, protozoa) DNA and RNA from a wide variety of vectors (mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, etc.) and tissue types (mammals, birds, etc.) collected, transported and stored in DNA/RNA Shield™. DNA/RNA Shield is used for nucleic acid preservation and inactivation of pathogens.

The kit features a storage/lysis buffer system and can be combined with high density ZR BashingBead™ Lysis Tubes (*recommended) to facilitate complete homogenization of hard-to-lyse samples for efficient nucleic acid isolation. Small (>50 nt) and large (> 200 kb) DNA and RNA are bound to magnetic beads, washed and then eluted.

The isolated high-quality nucleic acids are suitable for all downstream applications such as Next-Gen sequencing, hybridization-based and RT/qPCR detection.
