Beckman Coulter RIAs: Completed tumor marker portfolio
Beckman Coulter has completed its wide portfolio of radioimmunoassays with cytokeratin markers TPS®, MonoTotal®, UBC® and TPAcyk™, originally produced and commercialized by IDL Biotech, Sweden.
Beckman Coulter‘s viRNAtrap DNAPlusTM Extraction Kit is designed for automated highthroughput or manual purification of human/pathogen originating nucleic acids (i. e. RNA and DNA) in various sample matrix types.
The viRNAtrap DNAPlus™ Extraction Kit utilizes selective binding properties of silica-coated magnetic beads to capture nucleic acids from 100-200 µL of sample. The process includes two wash steps that provide pure total RNA/DNA, which is then eluted in up to 50 µL of elution buffer. This method ensures that the resulting high-quality purified nucleic acids are free of proteins, nucleases, and other contaminants or inhibitors and even small amounts of nucleic acids are effectively isolated. The purified nucleic acids can be immediately used in a wide range of downstream applications, such as RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, and other molecular biology techniques. This makes the kit an invaluable tool for diagnostic and research purposes.
One of the important features of the viRNAtrap DNAPlus™ Extraction Kit is its unified extraction protocol across all source materials, including serum, plasma, whole blood, urine, saliva, nasopharyngeal or genital swabs, and dry blood spots. This uniformity simplifies the extraction process, enabling its automation, reducing the potential for errors and ensuring consistent results regardless of the sample type.
The viRNAtrap DNAPlus™ Extraction Kit offers both manual and automated procedures, catering to different laboratory needs. The high-throughput capacity of automated extraction is ensured by the 96-well plate format. This format allows for the simultaneous extraction of nucleic acids from multiple samples, significantly increasing efficiency and throughput. Additionally, the automated extraction process is compatible with all open platforms on the market, providing flexibility and ease of integration into existing workflows. The viRNAtrap DNAPlus™ Extraction Kit is available in two formats – for 500 tests (REF. 3315-500) and for 100 tests (REF. 3315-100).
The viRNAtrap DNAPlus™ Extraction Kit is a powerful and versatile tool for the purification of nucleic acids from a wide range of biological samples. Magnetic beads technology, unified extraction protocol, and compatibility with both manual and automated procedures make the obtained purified nucleic acids suitable for a variety of applications. These include diagnostic testing, genetic research, and forensic analysis. The high purity and quality of the extracted nucleic acids enhance the sensitivity and specificity of these applications, leading to accurate and reliable results.
