We offer an assortment of kits that enable efficient isolation of viral nucleic acids from clinical samples such as nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, and other bodily fluids. For applications relevant to the study of the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease, we recommend the following:
NucleoSpin RNA Virus: silica membrane purification of viral RNA using a simple mini spin column-based protocol that can be completed in ~30 min. This product is comparable to the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit from Qiagen and is already being employed in SARS-CoV-2-related studies around the world.
NucleoMag Pathogen: high-throughput isolation of viral nucleic acids using scalable, automation-friendly magnetic beads. Scripts available for many common automation platforms.*
NucleoSpin 8/96 Virus: high-throughput isolation of viral nucleic acids using silica membrane technology in 8- or 96-well formats. These kits can be used for manual or automated sample processing, with scripts available for many common automation platforms.*
*To obtain automation scripts, please send an email to technical_support@takarabio.com with the following information: kit name, automation platform model, software version.
Please see the product's Certificate of Analysis for information about storage conditions, product components, and technical specifications. Please see the Kit Components List to determine kit components. Certificates of Analysis and Kit Components Lists are located under the Documents tab.
This blog highlights one of the first studies identifying and characterizing the novel coronavirus, ultimately contributing to the viral genome sequence being shared worldwide.
Learn how Takara employees in Dalian, China, are working tirelessly to keep up with the demand for the one-step PrimeScript RT-PCR kit, a crucial component in the detection of the novel coronavirus.
Our hiPSC-derived cells and other cell biology research products help you study SARS-CoV-2 infection, identify potential targets for drug discovery, evaluate the metabolism and safety of candidate drugs, and develop therapeutic approaches for COVID-19.
