Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does heat lysis for 10 minutes harm or degrade my DNA?

No, it does not. First of all, an incubation at 95°C for 10 minutes is not so stressful to RNA. Furthermore, Buffer RL does not contain any substances or conditions that can jeopardize the integrity of RNA but is rather formulated so that sample-intrinsic degrading mechanisms are blocked.

 

What sample types can be extracted with SwiftX™ Virus?

SwiftX™ Virus can be applied to blood serum and blood plasma samples. The protocol includes lysis & extraction steps. See also our Technical Sheet for more information. 

 

What is the function of Beads A in SwiftX™ Virus?

Beads A, used in SwiftX Virus, leverage the paradigm-changing functionality known as “Reverse Purification” to clear nucleic acid extracts from various impurities. It is capable of removing inhibitory substances from extraction supernatants from blood serum and blood plasma.  

 

How does Reverse Purification work?

The process, which we named “Reverse Purification”, is a true paradigm change in nucleic acid extraction. Instead of binding nucleic acids to magnetic particles, impurities such as proteins, cell debris and others are bound to our magnetic particles Beads A and extracted DNA and RNA remains untouched in the lysate. The inversion of the conventional nucleic acid purification workflow minimizes and has significant advantages as there is no loss of DNA and RNA during the extraction and purification process, which prevents reduced yields of nucleic acids. 

 

Are Beads A in SwiftX™ Virus binding nucleic acids?

No, Beads A are not capable of binding nucleic acids, neither DNA nor RNA. Beads A bind other biomolecules such as proteins and carbohydrates. Consequently, they are used for clearance of the lysate after the heat extraction step by removing impurities such as cell debris and other inhibitory substances. But nucleic acids are not bound by Beads A.
