Product Description
Rigid cell walls in yeast, molds and Gram-positive bacteria often leave RNA yields disappointing. This Zymo Research kit is built for exactly those stubborn organisms, combining aggressive mechanical disruption with fast spin-column cleanup so you can move from culture or pellet to purified total RNA in minutes rather than spending an afternoon on a lengthy manual protocol.
This listing is for catalog number R2014: ZR Fungal/Bacterial RNA MiniPrep, 50 Preps. Samples are homogenized in tubes of ultra-high density BashingBeads, which break open fungi, bacteria, algae and protozoa efficiently. The lysate is then processed on Zymo-Spin columns that bind, wash and release the RNA. The purified RNA is ready for sensitive molecular work such as next-generation sequencing, RT-PCR, microarrays and hybridization assays. Each kit provides enough material for 50 preparations. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
Key Features
- Bead-beating lysis – ultra-high density BashingBeads disrupt tough fungal and bacterial cell walls for efficient RNA release.
- Broad organism range – suited to yeasts and filamentous fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, algae and protozoa.
- Spin-column purification – Zymo-Spin column technology delivers clean RNA without phenol extraction or precipitation.
- Fast workflow – the full procedure can be completed in minutes.
- Downstream ready – purified RNA works in NGS, RT-PCR, microarray and hybridization workflows.
