Product Description
Thick fungal cell walls and Gram-positive envelopes can leave RNA locked inside cells. This Zymo Research kit is designed for fast RNA isolation from tough-to-lyse organisms, including A. fumigatus, C. albicans, N. crassa, S. cerevisiae and S. pombe, as well as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, algae and protozoa.
This listing is for catalog number R2010: Quick-RNA Fungal/Bacterial MicroPrep Kit, 50 Preps. Samples are disrupted quickly and efficiently with ultra-high density BashingBeads, then RNA is isolated on Zymo-Spin columns in a procedure that takes only minutes. The resulting RNA is well suited to next-generation sequencing, RT-PCR, microarrays, hybridization and other molecular applications. The microprep format is convenient for smaller sample amounts. Each kit provides 50 preps. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked.
Key Features
- Tough-sample lysis – Ultra-high density BashingBeads break open fungi and bacteria.
