NucleoSpin RNA Virus is designed for the isolation of viral
nucleic acids from serum, plasma, or any cell-free biological
fluids. The kit features a special type of membrane which has a
high binding capacity for viral RNA or viral DNA. The procedure
is rapid and easy. The lysate is incubated for 5–10 min and
applied to the NucleoSpin column. After two washing steps to
remove contaminants, the viral RNA or viral DNA can be eluted
with water or low-salt buffer. The kit contains all necessary
buffers, spin columns, and detailed protocols. Generally,
NucleoSpin RNA Virus is suited for the simultaneous purification
of viral RNA and DNA (support protocol). For example, isolation
of HBV DNA is performed with an additional Proteinase K digest
(enzyme not included in the kit). For isolation of viral DNA
with the highest sensitivities, the NucleoSpin Blood kit is
recommended. NucleoSpin RNA Virus F is designed for the
processing of larger volumes of starting material, avoiding
successive loadings and decreasing the ris
