Nucleic Acid Extraction Expertise

Nucleic acid quality is of major importance when conducting molecular analysis since factors causing degradation and the presence of impurities and enzymatic inhibitors can have a significant impact on the quality of data. The chemagic™ technology addresses the challenges associated with extraction while offering high recovery of clean nucleic acids suitable for demanding downstream applications.

The chemagic Viral DNA/ RNA 300 Kit H96 (cat # CMG-1033-S) and the chemagic 360 instrument is recommended for the isolation of nucleic acids for use with the SARS-CoV-2 Plus RT-qPCR Reagent kit.
