Carbon Prep for Wastewater RNA extraction
Dramatically improve RNA extraction from dilute solutions like COVID-19 detection in wastewater using our carbon prep RNA isolation kits.
Method
Carbon prep allows you to directly extract RNA from dilute solutions
No need for tedious precipitation of solids before extraction and no need for centrifuges or a cold room. Carbon technology allows you to pull RNA directly from the sample for faster sample preparation and superior results.
