The Quick-RNA Viral Kit provides for rapid isolation of high-quality viral RNA from a wide range of biological sources. It can be used to successfully isolate viral RNA from cell-free body fluids as well as cellular suspensions at concentrations less than or equal to 1x10^5cells/ml. The kit has been rigorously tested and used to isolate viral RNA from samples containing enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, HIV, HCV, influenza A virus, flaviviruses, measles virus, parainfluenza virus and parvovirus (a ssDNA virus). 

The ZR Viral RNA Kit™employs a single buffer system that facilitates viral particle lysis and allows for RNA adsorption onto the matrix of the Zymo-Spin™Column. The RNA is washed then eluted with DNase/RNase-Free Water. The eluted RNA is suitable for use in various subsequent procedures including RT-PCR.
