The following data demonstrates the proof of concept for using Sera-Xtracta™ Virus/Pathogen Kit for extraction of COVID-19 RNA in an experimental setting, highly relevant to virus detection from human swab samples routinely performed in a diagnostic laboratory.
The experiments used synthetic viral RNA that was spiked into universal transport media containing human cells to mimic a swab sample. The detection of viral RNA in the eluant was carried out using real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assay following Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
