  • Stabilization of nucleic acids with lysates
  • Nucleic acid purification using magnetic beads
  • Chemical inactivation of wet and dry swabs (see The COVID-19 Consortium SOP Method 2)
  • Virus Inactivation buffer (as stated by the COVID-19 Consortium, a partnership between The Francis Crick Institute, Health Services laboratory, Institute of Cancer Research and University College London Hospital NHS Trust, UK)

Proprietary formulation: Contains 60% Guanidine Thiocyanate (GITC), EDTA, 1.3% Triton X-100, Tris pH 7.25.

End-Utility: Use as directed in your protocol. Compatible with commercially available RNA extraction kits comprising magnetic beads or spin columns, prior to RT-qPCR.
