Swab DNA Extraction Kit

The collection of nasal, pharyngeal or vaginal samples with a swab is easy and convenient. For further analysis by PCR the elution of the required DNA from the swab material is of prime importance. The sample DNA must be available in a minutest volume to yield high DNA concentrations and a maximum sensitivity, shall be free of PCR inhibitors and fit the reaction conditions of the subsequent PCR. Minerva Biolabs´ Swab DNA Extraction Kit does fulfill all these requirements for routine IVD testing. All reagents are highly compatible with Minerva Biolabs´ PCR kits.

Applications
