Chromatrap® Homogenizer Spin Column

J.G. Finneran and Porvair Sciences are supporting customers in critical research and development of Covid-19 testing by offering Spin Column Homogenizers for RNA extraction from Buccal swabs. Current diagnostic tests rely on the detection of viral RNA by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from Buccal swabs obtained from patient samples.

Sample preparation of nasal and throat Buccal swabs is essential to ensure high yields and quality of viral RNA for detection and analysis. The Chromatrap® Homogenizer Spin Column is a quick and rapid method to ensure samples are suffi ciently prepared prior to RNA extraction to maximize downstream detection of viral RNA.

Whether you are researching Covid-19 to understand the mechanisms of action or front line diagnostic testing the Homogenizer Spin Column is the fi rst step in high quality RNA extraction. The dual frit design reduces lysate viscosity and captures insoluble debris by centrifugation, so the homogenized lysate sample is then ready for RNA extraction.
