Figure 1: Demonstration of no loss of RNA during the sbeadex Pathogen Nucleic Acid Purification Kit protocol. 500 copies of a 2019-COVID artificial RNA reference material were added to a sample (nasopharyngeal swab) and the sample processed with the sbeadex Pathogen Nucleic Acid Purification Kit. SARS-CoV-2 was detected in this preparation and a directly spiked positive control sample via a RT-qPCR at two separate Biosearch Technologies sites. The concordant Cq values from both samples demonstrate no loss of sample due to the extraction step.
