The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the need for access to reliable and cost-effective virus detection. Virus detection techniques typically look for nucleic acids within samples, using protocols designed to isolate viral RNA for downstream nucleic acid detection and analysis. Scientists can either adapt previously established RNA extraction techniques for viral samples or develop new strategies and reagents centered on viral RNA extraction. In this webinar, brought to you by MilliporeSigma, Nicolas Caffarelli and Kan Saito will describe how previously developed RNA extraction kits can be optimized and validated for easy, sensitive viral RNA purification and detection. They will also highlight recently developed reagents, including a novel viral RNA extraction buffer that can be mixed directly with virus-containing sample, allowing for rapid room-temperature lysis and RNA detection without the need for further clean up.
