Recently, cases of Nipah virus infection have been reported in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal. So far, there have been 5 confirmed cases, including healthcare workers. Nearly 100 people have been required to stay at home for isolation. The infected individuals are currently receiving treatment at the state capital, Kolkata, and surrounding hospitals. One of the patients is in critical condition.

The Nipah virus is classified by the World Health Organization as a lethal zoonotic virus, mainly carried by fruit bats. The virus can be transmitted to humans through contaminated food or directly from person to person, with a mortality rate ranging from 40% to 75%. According to the WHO, the incubation period from infection to symptom onset of this virus is generally 4 days to 14 days, with the longest duration reaching 45 days. Currently, there are no specific vaccines or effective treatments for the Nipah virus. Rapid and accurate early virus detection has become a key link in controlling the epidemic.
The SapiPure testing solution helps in the prevention and control of the Nipah virus.
Surbiopure Bioscience is deeply committed to the field of disease diagnostics. Leveraging our independent R&D capabilities and technological expertise, we have introduced a viral DNA/RNA extraction and purification kit in response to the sudden outbreak of the Nipah virus in India, aiming to provide comprehensive support for Nipah virus detection efforts.
The kit utilizes a magnetic bead-based purification technology. The sample is mixed with a viral lysis buffer, which disrupts the virus and releases the nucleic acids. Within the lysis buffer, nanomagnetic beads, via functional groups modified on their surface, specifically bind to the free DNA/RNA, forming bead-DNA/RNA complexes. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, these complexes are transferred to a wash buffer to remove excess impurities. Subsequently, again under the external magnetic field, they are transferred to an elution buffer, where the DNA/RNA is eluted and recovered.
This process enables rapid and efficient extraction and is compatible with mainstream detection methods such as fluorescent RT-PCR, providing a robust foundation for early screening and accurate diagnosis of the Nipah virus.
· The reagent utilizes nano magnetic bead technology and is pre-packaged；
· It features high extraction sensitivity, enabling efficient extraction from even trace amounts of material；
· It is non-toxic, harmless, and pollution-free, containing no chloroform, phenol, or similar hazardous substances, ensuring a safer operational environment.
It is equipped with MyPure-32pro, Mini16 fully automatic nucleic acid extraction instrument, and Q2000C type fluorescence quantitative PCR system, providing "powerful" technical support for the prevention and control of Nipah virus.
Automatic Nucleic Acid Extractor
Dimensions: 336mm (Width) × 270mm (Depth) × 306mm (Height), Weight: 11.5kg
Compatible with various magnetic stirrer tubes, compatible with 96-hole flat-bottomed plates/round-bottomed plates or single reagent strips
Help users reduce costs and increase efficiency
Equipped with a single reagent rack, it can be switched to a 1-32 channel configuration
Each magnetic rod can be freely inserted and removed, making it convenient for users to replace them by themselves without the need to return the product to the factory.
Each time, up to 1 to 16 samples can be extracted simultaneously. Combined with a single reagent, it is possible to achieve the simultaneous extraction of 1 to 8 samples with any throughput.
The operation time is short, ranging from 9 to 60 minutes per time (depending on the reagents), with a large throughput. Each time, 16 samples can be extracted simultaneously.
Significantly reducing the temperature difference between the liquid inside the tube and the set temperature has enhanced the cracking and elution efficiency.
The optimization of the all-magnetic-rod and amplitude adjustment technology enables it to easily handle various tiny magnetic beads, and achieve the goal of extracting nucleic acids without adhesion or residue.
① Built-in exhaust filtration module; ② Built-in ultraviolet disinfection module, which can perform ultraviolet disinfection at regular intervals; ③ Avoids aerosol contamination; The internal structure has been specially designed.
Using high-grade semiconductor chips from the renowned MARLOW company in the United States, along with the latest semiconductor temperature regulation technology, the fastest temperature change rate can reach 6 degrees per second, and the service life can reach one million cycles.
By adopting the T-Optical™ top detection technology, it is applicable to white tubes, shielding background interference, enhancing the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio of fluorescence signals, and achieving better results.
Simultaneous fluorescence synchronization detection in the same channel, reducing delay errors.
SSLP™ short-range static fluorescence CCD imaging technology offers more stable fluorescence signals and higher sensitivity. (It is not an optical fiber technology, thus avoiding clogging of the holes. It is not a sequential hole-scanning technology, thus avoiding heating, wear and deviation of the optical part due to movement.)
With a 12-column temperature gradient function, it enables more rapid optimization of reaction conditions.
