Silica-membrane-based viral RNA/DNA and bacterial DNA isolation from veterinary samples—NucleoSpin VET

NucleoSpin VET enables efficient purification of viral RNA and DNA, as well as bacterial DNA, from a broad range of veterinary sample types. This single-spin, “one-for-all” solution has been developed for nucleic acid extraction for various sample matrices including serum, plasma, animal whole blood, tissue, feces, swabs, and other cell-free biological samples. All samples can be purified following the same standard protocol after sample lysis. The sample lysis pretreatment depends on the starting material and the target viral or bacterial sequence.

For rapid, routine testing of veterinary samples, the kit includes a FastTrack protocol for easy-to-lyse, low-complexity matrices (plasma, swabs). The FastTrack protocol is focused on speed and ease of use combined with maximum sensitivity.

Overview

  • Employs one standard protocol for all specimen matrices after sample pretreatment
  • Removes inhibitors and contaminants, even when working with difficult sample matrices (e.g. feces or fatty raw milk)
  • Yields eluates that can be directly used for all common downstream analysis methods, including RT-qPCR and NGS
  • Includes FastTrack protocol for rapid, routine veterinary testing
