HemogloBind™ Nucleic Acid

Suspension Reagent to remove Hemoglobin interference for PCR

Some infectious viruses are known or suspected to be associated with red cells, such as Zika and West Nile

viruses. So to detect their presence, it is becoming increasingly apparent to use whole blood, rather than

plasma alone, as a starting sample type. However, the presence of hemoglobin from whole blood lysates is

challenging for PCR because of the large amount of hemoglobin present. HemogloBind™ Nucleic Acid is

designed to efficiently remove hemoglobin whilemaintaining very high recovery of nucleic acids, both RNA

and DNA.

Features;

• Suitable for infectious disease research or rigorous analysis for whole blood or heavily hemolyzed

  samples

• Scaleable suspension reagent

• Robust and simple, no phenol/chloroform or ammonium sulfate precipitation

• High Yield – free and soluble DNA or RNA is highly recoverable

• > 95% Hemoglobin and Protein removal from whole blood lysates & dried blood cards

• Eliminates inhibitory effects of heme for PCR applications

• Compatible with silica-type final isolation preps

RNA / DNA Recoverable from Blood
