Apsilon™ STD (Swab) DNA/RNA Extraction Kit

Apsilon™ STD (Swab) DNA/RNA Extraction Kit provides a unique and rapid method to extract and purify both DNA and RNA in 10 mins from STD swab samples. It extracts nucleic acid effectively from host and a range of STD pathogens, including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2, and Candida albicans. This kit, which utilizes magnetic beads-based technology, is compatible with automated platforms to enable high throughput extraction in extremely short processing time. Reagents are specially formulated to be enzyme-free, alcohol-free, and stable when stored at room temperature, thus eliminating any special storage and handling requirements.

Comparison with Leading Commercial Kits:

Better or comparable performance compared with other commercial kits.

Nucleic acid extractions from pooled human vaginal fluid spiked with 3x LoD each of 7 pathogens [Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), Herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV1, HSV2), Candida albicans (CA)] were performed with Apsilon™ and leading commercial kits. Protocols were followed according to manufacturers' instructions. qPCR performances were evaluated, and Apsilon™ kit is better or comparable to other commercial kits.

High quality nucleic acid obtained from our kit contain no PCR inhibitors.

Nucleic acid extractions from 300 μL pathogen-spiked artificial vaginal fluid in MTM were performed with Apsilon™ STD (Swab) DNA/RNA Extraction Kit. qPCR performances of undiluted, 10x-diluted and 100x-diluted eluates indicate there is little or no PCR inhibition.

Apsilon™ kit has the best recovery rate compared with leading commercial kits.

Varying amounts of purified Chlamydia trachomatis DNA was spiked into artificial vaginal fluid in MTM, and nucleic acid extractions were done with Apsilon™ and leading commercial kits. Based on standard curve generated from purified Chlamydia trachomatis DNA spiked directly into qPCR, the DNA yield from each kit was quantitated, and recovery rates were tabulated. Apsilon™ kit outperforms other commercial kits with the best recovery rates.
