Product Description
Capture what microbial communities are actually doing, at plate scale. This Zymo Research magnetic bead kit purifies total RNA, microRNAs included, from bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses as well as complex samples such as feces, soil, water, biofilms, swabs and saliva, supporting metatranscriptomic and expression studies across large cohorts.
This listing is for catalog number R2137: ZymoBIOMICS 96 MagBead RNA Kit, 96 Preps. Samples are collected in the included DNA/RNA Shield, which inactivates infectious agents and stabilizes RNA at ambient temperature for storage and shipping. RNA is captured on magnetic beads, washed and eluted into 50 µl or more of ZymoBIOMICS DNase/RNase-Free Water. The 96-well format runs manually or on liquid handlers, and kits come in 96- and 4 x 96-prep sizes. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your workflow moving.
Key Features
- Microbial breadth – purifies RNA from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses.
- Complex matrices – suited to fecal, soil, plant, water, biofilm, swab, saliva and body fluid samples.
- Ambient stabilization – included DNA/RNA Shield inactivates infectious agents and protects RNA.
- Small RNA retention – recovers total RNA including microRNAs.
- Automation friendly – 96-well magnetic bead format with scripts available.
