The quality of the RNA extraction system plays a crucial role for the detection of viruses in water or environmental samples. In the present study we investigated the detection limit, the efficiency and the presence of eventually co-extracted inhibitors by comparing four commercially available large scale (>or=1 ml) viral RNA extraction methods (QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit in combination with preconcentration by Centricon YM-100 [Centricon-QIAamp], QIAamp UltraSens Virus Kit, NucliSens Isolation Kit and NucleoSpin RNA Virus F). A 1 ml 50 mM glycine (pH 8.
