Intended Use (RESEARCH USE ONLY)
PCRopsis™ Reagent RVD-RT is intended for viral nucleic acid extraction-free processing of liquid samples at room temperature.
- Reagent RVD-RT may replace nucleic acid extraction procedures for many applications (e.g., life science research, veterinary pathogen research, etc.), but it must be verified by the end user.
PCRopsis™ Reagent RVD-RT is an alternative for:

The Science Behind Reagent RVD-RT
PCRopsis™ Reagent RVD-RT, with PCRopsis™ Activator, is engineered to simultaneously bind a variety of RT-qPCR / PCR inhibitors found in clinical specimens, lyse viruses / mammalian cells, and stabilize RNA and DNA in a manner that's compatible with RT-qPCR / PCR. The product consist of a proprietary mixture of peptides, salts, stabilizers, buffers, RVD Enhancer, and sodium azide to achieve these tasks. Reagent RVD-RT allows for extraction-free amplification of viral / mammalian RNA / DNA without performing nucleic acid isolation, centrifugations or other sample manipulations which may introduce errors, contaminants and/or skew the representation of RNA fragments.
User should verify the applicability of Reagent RVD-RT for unintended applications.

Reagent RVD-RT does not use "capture & release" RNA / DNA technology (e.g., columns, beads, etc.), therefore it does not exhibit this bias.
Satisfaction Guarantee - Warranty Summary
Entopsis guarantees the performance of Reagent RVD-RT to facilitate nucleic acid extraction-free processing of select viruses and mammalian cells using PCR / RT-qPCR from saliva, urine, and swab samples in compatible mediums when the sample is properly stored. Within 7 days of purchase, contact Entopsis (info@entopsis.com) should Reagent RVD-RT fail to perform as described above or in the CoA. In such a scenario, Entopsis will re-test the Lot in question using remaining reagent at our facility at our expense (purchaser does not need to ship product to Entopsis). If the re-tested Lot fails to meet our performance criteria, Entopsis will replace the faulty reagent free of charge. If the Lot meets our performance criteria as stated on the Certificate of Analysis for the Lot in question, then no additional action will be taken.
Please keep in mind that purchasers may use Reagent RVD-RT for numerous applications, sample types, gene targets, conditions, etc. that are untested and thereby may not work as desired. The purchaser must determine the suitability of Reagent RVD-RT for their particular use. However, the Entopsis scientific team can assist in the optimization of Reagent RVD-RT for your desired application. Refunds will not be provided due to a lack of product compatibility with purchaser's desired application. This is why small test volumes of Reagent RVD-RT are offered.
THIS WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES IF PRODUCTS ARE PURCHASED FROM AN APPROVED VENDOR (E.G., ENTOPSIS).
