FAQ's of Thermo Fisher Scientific Applied Biosystems MagMAX-96 Viral RNA Isolation Kit:
Q: How does the MagMAX-96 Viral RNA Isolation Kit isolate viral RNA from samples?
A: The kit uses magnetic bead-based nucleic acid purification technology. Viral RNA binds to the magnetic beads under specific buffer conditions, and the beads are then separated using a magnet. After washing, RNA is eluted in the final step, providing ultra-pure viral RNA for analysis.
Q: What sample types can be processed with this kit?
A: The MagMAX-96 kit is designed to handle various biological samples, including plasma, serum, swabs, cell culture supernatant, and transport medium, making it adaptable for different research and diagnostic needs.
Q: When should I use this kit in my laboratory workflow?
A: Use the MagMAX-96 kit whenever you require rapid and reliable isolation of viral RNA for downstream qualitative or quantitative workflows, such as RT-PCR for virus detection, including SARS-CoV-2. It is ideal for high-throughput testing settings.
Q: Where can this kit be utilized, and what equipment is it compatible with?
A: This kit is suitable for use in clinical, diagnostic, and research laboratories. It is compatible with both manual extraction methods and automated platforms like KingFisher Flex and Duo Prime, enhancing its versatility.
Q: What is the process flow for using the MagMAX-96 kit?
A: Add samples and reagents to the 96-well plate, allow RNA binding to the magnetic beads, perform wash steps, then elute the purified viral RNA. The process can be automated or done manually depending on laboratory resources.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing this kit over other RNA isolation methods?
A: The kit offers high throughput capability, high yield and purity of RNA, compatibility with multiple sample types and workflows, and reliable, quality-controlled results for both research and diagnostics.
Q: How should the kit be stored, and what is its shelf life?
A: The MagMAX-96 Viral RNA Isolation Kit should be stored at 2-8C. It has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture, ensuring long-term usability for laboratory operations.
