RapiPREP®

The most accurate and sensitive SARS-CoV-2 tests, Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) and, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), both require RNA to be extracted from a patient’s sample before it can be amplified and analysed.

Extraction in less than 10 mins
No organic solvents, ethanol or isopropanol used in capture or wash
Patent protected technology

MicrosensDx’s patented RapiPREP® Nucleic Acid Extraction for SARS-CoV-2 technology provides a rapid, sustainable, and scalable solution to extract nucleic acids from a variety of sample types.

The extraction is carried out by combining a proprietary magnetic bead-based solution with a buffer. No organic solvents, isopropanol or ethanol are required.

Extraction of the RNA from the sample takes less than 10 minutes.

It is also cost-effective as it does not require centrifugation; something necessary with traditional RNA extraction and which can lead to degradation of nucleic acids due to the shear forces involved.

Extraction with RapiPREP® Nucleic Acid Extraction for SARS-CoV-2 markedly increases the sensitivity of the subsequent LAMP or PCR result.

RapiPREP® Nucleic Acid Extraction for SARS-CoV-2can be used in a high-throughput format or in a close to patient setting, in a minimally equipped laboratory.
