Applied Biosystems™ MagMAX™ Wastewater Ultra Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit with Virus Enrichment

Applied Biosystems™ MagMAX™ Wastewater Ultra Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit with Virus Enrichment

The MagMAX Wastewater Ultra Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit with Virus Enrichment enables efficient, high-throughput virus enrichment and nucleic acid extraction from wastewater samples. The kit utilizes Dynabeads and MagMAX magnetic-bead technology, ensuring reproducible recovery of high-quality nucleic acid compatible with a broad range of applications, including real-time PCR and next-generation sequencing.

Wastewater and sewage surveillance is a useful tool for monitoring the regional spread of viral and bacterial pathogens. Surveillance at different levels of operation, such as a university dormitory or an entire city, has been shown to be a reliable way to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus before it becomes widespread in a population. Wastewater surveillance can be used to monitor other viral targets such as influenza and norovirus. However, wastewater and sewage samples are some of the most challenging when it comes to extraction of RNA and DNA, until now.
