UNSPSC Code: 12352200
RIDADR: NONH for all modes of transport
Features and Benefits:
• Quickly isolate total RNA from a variety of tissues such as mouse liver, spleen, lung, and heart.
• Prepare RNA samples in approximately 30 minutes.
• Obtain concentrated RNA that is suitable for downstream applications.
• Minimize RNA loss with a kit that removes contaminants without precipitation or other handling steps that degrade RNA.
• Eliminate the use of hazardous organic compounds such as cesium chloride, phenol, chloroform, and ethidium bromide.
Application:
The High Pure RNA Tissue Kit rapidly isolates total RNA from mammalian tissues such as mouse liver, spleen, lung, and heart. The isolated RNA can be used in many downstream applications:
• RT-PCR
• Northern blotting
• RACE
• Primer extension
• Differential display
• cDNA library construction
• RNase protection assay
• In vitro translation
General description:
Low to medium throughput RNA isolation.
The High Pure RNA Tissue Kit is designed for the purification of total, intact RNA from tissue samples, free of any contaminating DNA.
Other Notes:
For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Quality:
• Tissue is disrupted and homogenized in Lysis/Binding Buffer and purified as described.
• RNA yield is determined by measuring the optical density at 260 nm.
• Integrity and size distribution are examined by the banding pattern of ribosomal RNA in a denaturing agarose gel.
• 10 μL of the RNA eluate is used in first strand synthesis with reverse transcriptase M-MuLV and p(dT)15 as primer. In the following PCR, accomplished using the Expand High Fidelity PCR System and specific primers for glycerinaldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), the expected amplification product of 983 bp is obtained.
• Absence of contaminating DNA is examined by a PCR without a preceding RT reaction; no amplification product is obtained.
Components:
• Lysis/Binding Buffer
• DNase I, lyophilizate
• DNase Incubation Buffer
• Wash Buffer I
• Wash Buffer II
• Elution Buffer
• High Pure Spin Filter Tubes (containing glass fiber fleece)
• Collection Tubes
Preparation Note:
Tissue samples are disrupted and homogenized in the presence of a chaotropic salt (guanidine HCL) that inactivates RNases. The homogenate is then applied to the glass fiber fleece in a High Pure Spin Filter Tube. Under the buffer conditions used in the procedure, all nucleic acids bind to the glass fiber fleece, while contaminating substances (salts, proteins, and other cellular contaminants) do not. DNA in the preparation is digested with DNase I directly on the filter. Brief wash-and-spin steps readily remove the digested DNA fragments and other cellular contaminants. The remaining purified RNA is then eluted in a small volume of low-salt buffer.
