Product Description
Targeting RNA from a specific region of a tissue section usually means costly microdissection equipment. These Zymo Research systems let you isolate RNA from a chosen area of fresh, paraffin-fixed or paraffin-embedded tissue mounted on a glass slide, using a simple bench workflow rather than UV-based instrumentation.
This listing is for catalog number R1003: Pinpoint Slide RNA Isolation System I, 50 Preps. The method combines Pinpoint tissue sampling, which lifts the selected area from the slide, with a single-step RNA extraction and binding buffer and Zymo-Spin column purification. The eluted RNA is high quality and suited to downstream analysis such as RT-PCR. System I and System II are each supplied as 50-prep kits; System II includes a Proteinase K digestion step. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Targeted sampling – Isolate RNA from a precise region of a slide-mounted section.
- No special instruments – Avoids the expense of UV-based capture systems.
- Single-step extraction – One buffer handles extraction and binding.
- Works on FFPE and fresh tissue – Accepts fresh, paraffin-fixed or embedded sections.
- RT-PCR ready – Purified RNA suits sensitive downstream analysis.
