Product Description
Precious, low-input samples deserve a cleanup that does not waste material. This Zymo Research microprep kit takes samples in TRI Reagent or a similar reagent straight to a spin column, recovering up to 10 µg of total RNA, small RNAs included, in about seven minutes without chloroform or precipitation.
This listing is for catalog number R2060: Direct-zol RNA MicroPrep, 50 Preps. Load the homogenate onto a Zymo-Spin Column, bind, wash and elute. Skipping phase separation avoids the selective miRNA enrichment that can bias downstream results, so 17 to 200 nt species are captured faithfully. Compatible samples include cells, tissues, serum, plasma, blood and other biological fluids. Available in 50- and 200-prep sizes, with or without TRI Reagent. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
Key Features
- Low-input design – microprep format captures up to 10 µg RNA per prep.
- Direct loading – TRI Reagent samples go straight onto the column with no phase separation.
- Unbiased miRNA recovery – retains 17 to 200 nt RNAs without phase-separation bias.
- Seven-minute protocol – no precipitation or post-purification cleanup needed.
- Versatile inputs – suitable for cells, tissues, serum, plasma, blood and other fluids.
