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.
The Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from whole blood, cells and tissues using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100μg RNA. There is no need for phenol / chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or isopropanol precipitation. The purified RNA can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection and in vitro translation.

The Kit simplifies isolation of RNA from blood with a fast spin-column procedure. Red blood cells are selectively lysed and white cells collected by centrifugation. White cells are then lysed using highly denaturing conditions which immediately inactivate RNases. After homogenization using the DNA spin column, the sample is applied to the RNA column. Total RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away, leaving pure RNA to be eluted in 30–100µl RNase-free water (provided with the kit) for direct use in any downstream application.

Storage and Stability
HiPure Blood RNA Mini Kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used. During shipment, crystals or precipitation may form in the RTL Lysis Buffer. Dissolve by warming buffer to 37°C.

The NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit (ion torrent platform) was developed for construction of high quality libraries for next generation sequencing for ion torrent platform. The kit uses intact genomic DNA (both EDTA-free DNA and DNA in TE buffer are compatible) as input DNA without an additional DNA fragmentation step. Our NGS kit has a fast and simple workflow with only three step. In addition, all steps can be performed in one tube. The DNA libraries can be generated within one hour with less than 10 minutes of hands-on time. Library multiplexing up to 12 samples is possible.
NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit Workflow
The incorporation of DNA fragmentation in the kit makes it possible to directly use intact genomic DNA as input DNA without the need of mechanical DNA shearing or enzymatic DNA fragmentation. The protocol is optimized to generate libraries from 200 bp to 500 bp in size. The library size is inversely correlated with the incubation time of step 1 at 20°C.
Kit features:
Library conversion efficiency for NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit (Ion Torrent Platform). 100 ng, 300 ng and 500 ng of DNA were used as input.
NGS DNA Fragmentation & Library Prep Kit (Ion Torrent Platform): Library size distribution with different incubation time.
