About ZR Viral RNA Kit™
The ZR Viral RNA Kit™ is designed for the rapid isolation of high-quality viral RNA from a wide range of biological sources. The kit can be used to isolate viral RNA from cell-free body fluids and cellular suspensions at concentrations ≤ 105 cells/ml. The product has been rigorously tested and used to isolate viral RNA from samples containing enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, HIV, HCV, influenza A virus, flaviviruses, measles virus, parainfluenza virus, and parvovirus (an ssDNA virus). Eluted RNA is suitable for use in subsequent procedures, including RT-PCR.

RT-PCR amplification of enterovirus cDNA. Human serum was spiked with different amounts of infectious enterovirus, then viral RNA was extracted using the ZR Viral RNA Kit™. The eluted RNA was used for one-tube RT-PCR amplification of a 230 bp amplicon. M is a 100 bp DNA Marker (Zymo Research)

Viral RNA was isolated from liquid samples using the ZR Viral RNA Kit™. Isolated viral RNA was reverse transcribed/amplified using a coupled RT-real-time PCR system (Zymo Research). Ct values for measles and influenza type A (FluA) were 23.05 (diamonds), 24.56 (triangles), respectively.
