Product Details

The QIAamp DSP Virus Kit uses well-established and convenient QIAamp technology for simultaneous purification of viral DNA and RNA for in vitro diagnostic use.

Performance

Viral nucleic acids purified using the QIAamp DSP Virus Kit are ready to use in sensitive downstream applications, such as those based on enzymatic amplification or other modification, including PCR and RT-PCR.

Principle

The QIAamp DSP Virus Kit uses well-established and convenient QIAamp technology for simultaneous purification of viral DNA and RNA. The QIAamp silica-based membrane binds nucleic acids in the lysed sample, while the rest of the lysate is rapidly removed by vacuum pressure. The bound nucleic acids are efficiently washed to remove contaminants and then eluted in a volume of 20 µl or 60 µl.

Procedure

The QIAamp DSP Virus Kit Procedure includes the following steps: lyse, bind, wash (3x), dry spin, and elute. Viral nucleic acids are purified from plasma or serum using a vacuum manifold, such as the QIAvac 24 Plus (see flowchart, "").

See figures

QIAamp DSP Virus Kit procedure.

Applications

Viral nucleic acids can be purified from plasma or serum samples. Samples can contain the anticoagulants citrate or EDTA, and can be either fresh, lyophilized, or frozen (provided they were not thawed and refrozen).

The QIAamp DSP Virus Kit provides purification of nucleic acids from a wide range of viruses. The kit is compatible with a wide range of upstream sample collection systems and downstream applications, and therefore can be easily integrated into diagnostic workflows.

FAQ

QIAGEN Proteinase K is a subtilisin-type protease, which cleaves at the carboxyl side of hydrophobic, aliphatic and aromatic amino acids. It is particularly suitable for short digestion times. It possesses a high specific activity over a wide range of temperatures and pH values with substantially increased activity at higher temperature. Soluble calcium is not essential for enzymatic activity. This means that EDTA, which is used to inhibit Mg2+-dependent enzymes such as nucleases, will not inhibit Proteinase K activity.

QIAGEN Protease is a broad-specificity Serine protease with high activity, cleaving preferentially at neutral and acidic residues. It is an economical alternative to Proteinase K for isolation of native DNA and RNA from a variety of samples.

FAQ ID -761

Small amounts of RNA and DNA may be difficult to measure spectrophotometrically. Fluorometric measurements, or quantitative RT-PCR and PCR are more sensitive and accurate methods to quantify low amounts of RNA or DNA.

Fluorometric measurements are carried out using nucleic acid binding dyes, such as RiboGreen® RNA Quantitation Reagent for RNA, and PicoGreen® DNA Quantitation Reagent for DNA (Molecular Probes, Inc.).

FAQ ID -728

For RNA isolated on the BioRobot EZ1 and BioRobot M48:

The RNA can be directly applied to the Agilent Bioanalyzer, since it is being denatured in the final protocol steps of these isolation procedures.

For RNA prepared with all other QIAGEN RNA Isolation Products:

We recommend to denature the samples in a water bath for 2 min at 70°C, and then place them directly on ice prior to loading them onto the Agilent Bioanalyzer.

FAQ ID -528

Always dispose of potentially biohazardous solutions according to your institution’s waste-disposal guidelines. Although the lysis and binding buffers in QIAamp, DNeasy, and RNeasy kits contain chaotropic agents that can inactivate some biohazardous material, local regulations dictate the proper way to dispose of biohazards. DO NOT add bleach or acidic solutions directly to the sample-preparation waste. Guanidine hydrochloride in the sample-preparation waste can form highly reactive compounds when combined with bleach.
Please access our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) online for detailed information on the reagents for each respective kit.
