Quick Start Guide
Before first use, add ethanol (>95%) to Wash Buffer #2 as per label instructions.
Prior to extraction, mix bottles well by inverting upside down several times.
- In 1.5ml microfuge tube, add 100μl of sample (swab, saliva, cell-free body fluids, viral transportation media (VTM), inactive transport media (ITM), culture supernatants,or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid).
Add 400μl of Lysis/Binding Buffer and mix well by pipetting up-down 10–15x.
Incubate 5 mins to allow for lysis and RNA binding.
- Place tube on magnetic rack for 1–2 mins to capture RNA-bead complex, then discard supernatant.

- Remove tube from magnetic rack and resuspend RNA–bead complex in 600μl of Wash Buffer #1.
Return to magnetic rack for 1–2 mins, then discard supernatant.
- Repeat wash with 600μl of Wash Buffer #2, return to magnetic rack for 1–2 mins, then discard supernatant and leave to dry for 1 min.

- Remove tube from magnetic rack and resuspend RNA–bead complex in 50μl of Elution Buffer.
Mix well by pipetting up-down 15–20x to elute RNA from beads and let stand for 1–2 mins.
- Place tube on magnetic rack to separate beads (~1–2 mins).

- Transfer clean RNA solution (supernatant) to clean tube.
