Product Description
Microbial communities only tell the truth when every organism is lysed equally. This Zymo Research kit purifies RNA from a wide variety of sample types for microbiome and metagenome analysis, using the ZymoBIOMICS lysis system to remove the bias caused by differences in how easily organisms break open.
This listing is for catalog number R2001: ZymoBIOMICS RNA Mini Kit, 50 Preps. Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, protozoa and algae are disrupted with comparable efficiency, then RNA is purified on Zymo-Spin columns. The result is high-quality total RNA, including small RNAs of 17 to 200 nt, that is free of PCR inhibitors and ready for RT-PCR, hybridization and sequencing. DNase I is included. Each kit provides 50 preps. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your workflow moving.
Key Features
- Unbiased lysis – Breaks open diverse microbes with comparable efficiency.
