QIAsymphony DSP Virus/Pathogen Midi Kit
Reason
Some reagent cartridges of this kit lot contain reagent troughs that are not filled correctly with buffer QSW2. As a consequence, the nucleic acids purified with affected reagent cartridges do not meet the expected quality due to contamination with inhibitory substances. The performance of the resulting nucleic acids in downstream applications is decreased.
