Why is the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (50) currently unavailable?

The QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (cat. no. 52904 or 52906) is one of the reagents used worldwide to isolate viral RNA from respiratory samples and is currently also used to detect coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.

During the pandemic, we are focused on ramping up production of the larger kit size QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (250), cat. no. 52906. During this time, the smaller kit size will be unavailable. The two kits are identical in their use and performance.
