Norgen's Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kit

Norgen’s Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kit provides a rapid method for the purification of total RNA, including viral RNA, from fresh and preserved saliva and swab samples.

  • Fast and easy processing using rapid spin-column format
  • High sensitivity: detect down to 10 viral copies of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva
  • Bind without size or GC content bias and without the need for phenol (see blog)
  • Carrier RNA-free extraction: compatible with sequencing applications
  • Lysis buffer chemistry tested to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 virus (see app. note 94)
  • Available in column-based and 96-well format
  • CE-IVD marked version available

Want a less invasive alternative to swabs? Try Norgen's Saliva RNA Collection & Preservation Device

  • Non-invasive, user-friendly sample collection
  • Preserved RNA is stable for up to 2 months at room temperature
  • Compatible with most RNA isolation methods, optimized for use with Norgen's purification technology.
  • High quality RNA is suitable for sensitive downstream applications including RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, RNA sequencing and microarray
  • Viral inactivation for safe transport & handling (see app. note 93)
  • Tested on SARS-CoV-2 virus (see app. note 94)
  • CE-IVD marked version available

MagBead viral RNA lysis buffer

MagBead Viral RNA Lysis Buffer is intended for the isolation and purification of total nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) from biological specimens for performance evaluation in in vitro diagnostic procedures.

The MagBead Viral RNA Lysis Buffer is designed for:

  • Nasopharyngeal swab samples
  • Lysis of DTT pre-treated sputum samples which had been spun down to pellets before adding the
  • RNA Lysis buffer
  • Stabilization of nucleic acids with lysates
  • Nucleic acid purification using magnetic beads  (manual and automated liquid handling stations)

Validated by the Irish HSE.
