vNAT® Buffer
Developed for Respiratory Swab Samples
vNAT® Buffer is a viral nucleic acid extraction and preservation solution for dry swabs and swabs in viral transport media. vNAT® eliminates the need for an extraction step in respiratory virus testing. A vNAT® treated sample can be used directly for PCR after 1 minute.
Compatible with:
- Bio-Speedy® Direct SARS-CoV-2 Kit
- Bio-Speedy® Flu A-B/RSV Kit
- Bio-Speedy® 4T (COVID/Flu/RSV) Kit
Key Benefits
1-Minute Protocol
Sample ready for PCR in just 1 minute — no waiting, no extra steps.
Extraction-Free Workflow
Eliminates time-consuming nucleic acid extraction steps entirely.
Simplified Workflow
Compatible with dry swabs and swabs in viral transport media.
How It Works
Sample Treatment
Treat respiratory swab sample with vNAT® Buffer
Brief Incubation
Incubate for 1 minute at room temperature
Ready for PCR
Use treated sample directly in RT-qPCR assay
Ideal For
- High-throughput respiratory testing
- Point-of-care or rapid testing scenarios
- Laboratories seeking to reduce extraction costs
- Workflows requiring fast sample-to-result times
