Indianapolis, Indiana,2020year5moon12On the day, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences announced the launch ofRNAdvance Viral XPThis is a validated real-time method for infectious diseases and pathogensPCRNew Types of Virus ResearchRNAExtraction kit. To meet the increasing demand for high-throughput laboratoriesRNAExtracting requirements, the reagent kit is currently available for purchase.

RNAdvance Viral XP Kit

Extracting viral RNA from swab samples is a crucial step in the current workflow of virus research. RNAdvance Viral XP aims to utilize SPRI (Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization) magnetic bead technology to achieve high-throughput swab nucleic acid extraction and accelerate the work process. The extracted RNA downstream can be used for qRT PCR detection to determine the presence of viral RNA.

Greg Milosevich, President of Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, said, "Isolating RNA from viral samples is a crucial step in studying viruses and other deadly pathogens. In the past few months, our R&D team has worked closely with partners to provide customers with high-performance virus nucleic acid extraction solutions. ”

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences has collaborated with iRepertoire, located in Huntsville, Alabama, to develop this kit method. IRepertoire independently validated this method. The result satisfied both parties.

We conducted over 100 RNA extractions and 500 qPCR reactions within three days to validate RNAdvance Viral XP. ”Dr. Miranda L. Byrne Steele, Director of Operations and R&D at iRepertoire, said, "The results clearly demonstrate that Beckman Coulter Life Sciences' new solution is feasible and can help alleviate the severe shortage in the current RNA extraction kit supply chain. ”Milosevich added, "Providing support to our customers to the best of our ability during times of increased demand is a top priority for me and all employees of Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. Just as we have established a sound supply chain, scaled production, and improved on-site support capabilities, we are united in our efforts. I believe our technology will expand available extraction solutions for research laboratories around the world
