In order to tackle the existing global shortage on extraction kits under these extra-ordinary circumstances, we have developed an alternative, fast-extraction, which does not require a separate extraction but only a pre-treatment that takes less than 10 minutes. This method helps the institutions and medical workers save precious time by eliminating the need for extraction for diagnosis. Bosphore EX-Tract Dry Swab RNA Solution has been optimized to perform only with Bosphore Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Detection Kits.
