Introduction

This kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from cells, tissues, and yeast using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100μg RNA. There is no need for phenol/chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or isopropanol precipitation. RNA purified using the HiPure Total RNA Purification System can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.

Principle

The Kit isolates total RNA from up to 10⁷ cells or 20 mg tissue. A short workflow enables RNA isolation with genomic DNA removal in less than 25 mins. Samples are first lysed and homogenized. The lysate is passed through a DNA Mini column, ethanol is added to the flow-through, and the sample is applied to a RNA column. RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away. High-quality RNA is eluted in as little as 30µl water using the Kit.

Advantages

• Efficient removal of DNA – unique genomic DNA removal column without DNase treatment
• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 25 minutes by column method
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
