RNA Extraction Kits

Product Overview

The reagents used in this kit do not contain phenol and chloroform, which greatly reduces the harm of phenol and chloroform to the experimenter and expands the use environment. This product can quickly extract total RNA from animal cells, tissues, and can process a large number of different samples simultaneously. Extracted total RNA has high purity and extremely low contamination of proteins and other impurities, which can be used for RT-PCR, Real Time RT-PCR, microarray analysis, Northern Blot, Dot Blot, poly(A) selection, in vitro translation, RNase protection analysis and molecular cloning, and various other downstream experiments.

Samples are lysed in 300 µL of Lysate REL, digested with 10 µL of Proteinase K in 590 µL of ddH₂O at 56°C for 10 min and clarified at 12,000 rpm for 5 min. After adding 0.5 volumes of ethanol the lysate is loaded onto Adsorption column R, washed with 750 µL of Buffer RRPB and then twice with 500 µL of Washing Buffer RWB, dried by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 2 min followed by air-drying, and eluted in 30–100 µL of RNase-Free ddH₂O. An optional on-column DNase I step is included. For pure RNA the OD260/OD280 reading is between 1.8 and 2.1, and 28S rRNA is about twice that of 18S rRNA.

Applications

  • Total RNA extraction from animal cells and tissues
  • RT-PCR and Real Time RT-PCR
  • Northern Blot and Dot Blot analysis
  • Microarray analysis and poly(A) selection
  • In vitro translation, RNase protection analysis and molecular cloning

Key Features

  • High purity: The purified total RNA has very low protein contamination, and the obtained RNA can be used for Northern blot, dot blot, mRNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, primer extension, difference display, etc.

Storage & Handling

Lysate REL, Buffer RRPB, Washing Buffer RWB, DNase I Buffer RDB, Adsorption column R and RNase-Free ddH₂O are stored at room temperature for 1 year. Proteinase K and the DNase I stock solution are stored at -20°C for 1 year.

Usage Notes

  • Absolute ethanol must be added to Washing Buffer RWB before use.
  • Excessive tissue affects lysis efficiency; increase the lysate proportionally if needed.
  • Complete drying of the adsorption material is critical, otherwise residues interfere with downstream experiments.
  • The elution volume should not be below 30 µL, as it affects recovery efficiency.
  • Store the eluted RNA at -70°C.

Q.How should the Total RNA Extraction Kit be stored and how long is the shelf life?
A.Lysate REL, Buffer RRPB, Washing Buffer RWB, DNase I Buffer RDB, the adsorption columns and RNase-Free ddH₂O are stored at room temperature for 1 year. Proteinase K and the DNase I stock solution are stored at -20°C for 1 year.
Q.What is included in the kit?
A.Each kit supplies Lysate REL, Buffer RRPB, Washing Buffer RWB, Proteinase K, DNase I stock solution, DNase I Buffer RDB, Adsorption column R and RNase-Free ddH₂O, in 50 T and 200 T sizes. The 50 T kit contains 15 mL of Lysate REL and 50 columns.
Q.What sample input does the kit accept?
A.Adherent or suspended animal cells are lysed in 300 µL of lysate, and 20 mg of tissue can be processed per preparation. Excessive tissue affects lysis efficiency, so the lysate is increased proportionally if needed.
Q.How is genomic DNA removed?
A.An optional on-column DNase I step is included: 10 µL of DNase I stock solution and 90 µL of Buffer RDB are mixed, and 100 µL is applied to the column for 10 min at room temperature. The column is then washed with 600 µL of Buffer RRPB, left to stand 2 min and centrifuged before the RWB washes.
Q.What elution volume should be used and how should the RNA be stored?
A.The dried column is eluted with 30–100 µL of RNase-Free ddH₂O; volumes below 30 µL reduce recovery efficiency. The eluted RNA is stored at -70°C. For pure RNA the OD260/OD280 reading is between 1.8 and 2.1.
Q.Is this product for research use only?
A.Yes. The manual states that the product is for research use only.
