Product Description
Tough fungal cell walls no longer need to slow down your RNA work. This Zymo Research kit includes everything required to purify high-quality total RNA from a broad range of fungi, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Pichia pastoris, Candida albicans and several Aspergillus species, using a single streamlined protocol.
This listing is for catalog number R1002: YeaStar RNA Kit, 40 Preps. Cells are treated with a yeast lytic enzyme to digest the cell wall, lysed, and the RNA is then bound, washed and eluted using Zymo-Spin column technology. In general, any fungus that can be lysed by yeast lytic enzyme is a candidate. Starting from 1 to 1.5 ml of cultured cells, each prep typically yields 10 to 25 µg of total RNA. The kit provides 40 preps. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your workflow moving.
Key Features
- Broad fungal range – Validated on yeasts and filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus and Candida.
- Enzymatic lysis – Yeast lytic enzyme digestion opens cell walls gently.
- Solid yields – Typically 10 to 25 µg total RNA per prep.
- Spin-column purification – Zymo-Spin columns deliver clean, ready-to-use RNA.
- Complete kit – All necessary reagents included for 40 preps.
