More than 1,000 mutations in the CFTR gene have been associated with cystic fibrosis. Most of these mutations in the CFTR gene change the production, structure, or stability of the chloride channel. All of these charevent the channel from functioning properly, which impairs the transport of chloride ions and the movement of water into and out of cells, resulting in cells lining the passageways of the lungs, pancreas, and other organs producing abnormally thick and sticky mucus. The abnormal mucus blocks the airways and glands, leading to the complications of respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems.

The Luco – AMD Viral NA Extraction Kit is designed for rapid and efficient extraction of high quality viral nucleic acids from various human liquid samples such as plasma, serum, whole blood, saliva, nasal and buccal swabs, urine and urogenital swabs. The kit utilizes a silica-based membrane technology in the form of a convenient spin column.
