«ALVETPREP» Extraction Kit
«ALVETPREP» Extraction Kit (cat. No. AL-PREP2V-96, cat. No. AL-PREP5V-96) is intended for the simultaneous DNA / RNA isolation from biological material for subsequent analysis of the resulting DNA / RNA preparation using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and polymerase chain reaction with a reverse transcription (RT-PCR).
The functional use of «ALVETPREP» Extraction Kit (cat. No. AL-PREP2V-96, cat. No. AL-PREP5V-96) is to carry out sample preparation for the subsequent analysis of biological samples, performed in the course of laboratory diagnostics using PCR or RT-PCR. The kit is used to obtain a DNA / RNA preparation free from reverse transcription and PCR inhibitors, which provides high analytical capabilities for subsequent analysis.

«ALVETPREP» Extraction Kit principle of procedure (cat. No. AL-PREP2V-96, cat. No. AL-PREP5V-96) is based on a method that assumes reversible binding of nucleic acid molecules on the surface of magnetic sorbent particles. The test sample is treated with a lysis solution in the presence of magnetic sorbent particles. The result is the destruction of cell membranes, viral envelopes and other biopolymer complexes and the release of nucleic acids. Lysed RNA / DNA binds to the sorbent particles, while other components of the lysed biological material remain in solution and are removed when the sorbent is precipitated on a magnetic stand with subsequent washing of the sorbent. When the elution buffer is added to the magnetic sorbent, DNA is eluted from the sorbent surface into the solution, which is then separated from the sorbent particles by magnetic force. The result of the above procedure is a highly purified DNA preparation free from inhibitors of the amplification reaction, which provides a high analytical sensitivity of the PCR research.
The kit application is possible only by personnel trained in molecular diagnostics methods and the work rules in a clinical diagnostic laboratory.
