SNPsig® VariPLEX SARSCoV-2 is a real-time-reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) multiplex assay to be used as a reflex qPCR test. VariPLEX™ SARS-CoV-2 can be performed on extracted sample eluates from positive COVID-19 tests.
Detects the variants originally identified in the UK (20I/501Y.V1), South Africa (20H/501Y.V2), Brazil (20J/501Y.V3) and California (20C/S:452R), and the key biologically significant mutations N501Y and E484K, which are now all prevalent globally.
These kits allow for the isolation of DNA from the blood of various species, including humans and will recover genomic DNA, mitochondrial DNA, viral DNA and bacterial DNA. The purified DNA is of excellent quality and yield and completely compatible with any downstream application including PCR, qPCR and genotyping.
Blood DNA Isolation Mini Kit

Blood DNA Isolation Midi Kit
Norgen’s Blood DNA Isolation Kit is designed for the rapid spin column preparation of DNA from 0.3 to 2 mL volumes of whole blood. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 30 minutes, and each kit contains sufficient materials for 20 preparations.
Blood DNA Isolation Maxi Kit
This kit is designed for the rapid preparation of DNA from 3 mL up to 10 mL of whole blood. Preparation time for a single sample is less than 30 minutes.
Blood DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (High Throughput)
This kit provides a rapid method for the high-throughput isolation of DNA from up to 200 µL of whole blood. Fast and easy processing using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.
Blood DNA Isolation Kit (Magnetic Bead System)
Norgen’s Blood DNA Isolation Kit (Magnetic Bead System) is designed for the rapid preparation of genomic DNA from up to 200 µL of whole blood from various species, including human. Purification is based on magnetic beads as the separation matrix. Norgen’s magnetic beads bind DNA under optimized salt concentrations and releases the bound DNA under low salt and slightly alkali conditions. The genomic DNA is preferentially purified from other cellular proteinaceous components. Typical yields of genomic DNA will vary depending on the cell density of the blood sample. The purified genomic DNA is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with downstream applications including real-time PCR, NGS and microarray analysis.
Blood DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (High Throughput Magnetic Bead System)
96-well format for high throughput applications. Purification with the 96-well plates can be integrated with a robotic automation system.

This kit enables the rapid purification of amplified DNA products from PCR mixes. It is able to effectively remove PCR by-products including primers, dimers, enzymes, unincorporated nucleotides and mineral oil from the desired PCR product. The purified PCR products are fully compatible with restriction enzyme digestion, ligation into vectors, labeling, sequencing and more. This kit can also be used as an alternative to organic extraction and ethanol precipitation to clean up various enzymatic reactions.
The kit is also available in a 96-well format for high-throughput PCR purification. Purification with the 96-well plate can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) is a member of the herpes virus family, Herpesviridae. HSV-1 has a relatively large double-stranded DNA genome. HSVs are primarily transmitted by sexual intercourse, direct contact with lesions or perinatally. Most HSV positive cases are characterised by lesions on the skins and mucous membranes of the mouth and genitals. HSV infection can be either primary or a recurrence of a previous infection. More than 90% of the primary HSV infections are asymptomatic. Primary infection with HSV-1 can lead to gingivostomatitis, eczema herpeticum, keratoconjunctivitis and encephalitis. The primary symptoms of a secondary infection are skin lesions in the nose, mouth and genital regions. The infection is contagious, mainly during an epidemic.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
