Product Description
Working with only a few thousand cells or a tiny biopsy? This Zymo Research kit is built for small inputs, isolating DNA-free total RNA from up to 10^6 cells or up to 5 mg of tissue in about 10 minutes, and eluting it at high concentration for sensitive downstream assays.
This listing is for catalog number R1050: Quick-RNA MicroPrep Kit, 50 Preps. Simply add the supplied RNA Lysis Buffer to the sample and purify the RNA on a Zymo-Spin column. The buffer system recovers total RNA including small RNAs of 17 to 200 nt, and the kit can also split small and large RNAs into separate fractions. Purified RNA is suitable for RT-PCR, hybridization and sequencing. Available in 50 and 200 prep sizes. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked.
Key Features
- Low-input optimized – Handles up to 10^6 cells or 5 mg of tissue.
- About 10 minutes – Rapid lysis and spin-column purification.
- DNA-free RNA – Delivers RNA free of genomic DNA contamination.
- Small RNA recovery – Captures species from 17 to 200 nt.
- Fractionation option – Separate small and large RNAs when needed.
