Total RNA Extraction Kit (Blood/Bacteria/Cultured Cells)

The Total RNA Extraction Kit (Blood/Bacterial/Cultured Cells) is specially designed for purification of total RNA from bacterial, cultured cells and fresh human whole blood. The method uses detergents and a chaotropic salt to lyse the cells and inactivate RNase. The lysate is applied to provided Lysate Filter columns (Mini System) to remove cell debris and ensure complete cell lysis. RNA in chaotropic salt solutions binds to the glass fiber matrix of the columns. Following washing off of contaminants, the purified RNA is eluted by RNase-free water. ssRNA and dsRNA of > 200 bps to 1000′s of bps in length are efficiently purified.
