The Total RNA Extraction Kit (Blood/Bacterial/Cultured Cells) is specially designed for purification of total RNA from bacterial, cultured cells and fresh human whole blood. The method uses detergents and a chaotropic salt to lyse the cells and inactivate RNase. The lysate is applied to provided Lysate Filter columns (Mini System) to remove cell debris and ensure complete cell lysis. RNA in chaotropic salt solutions binds to the glass fiber matrix of the columns. Following washing off of contaminants, the purified RNA is eluted by RNase-free water. ssRNA and dsRNA of > 200 bps to 1000's of bps in length are efficiently purified.
Applications
RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis, In Vitro Translation, Primer Extension, Northern blotting, Micorarray prep
Quality Control
The quality of Total RNA Extraction Kit (Blood/Cells) is tested on a lot-to-lot basis. The kits are tested by isolation of total RNA from 300μl of fresh human whole blood. More than 1μg of total RNA was quantified with a spectrophotometer and checked by formaldehyde agarose gel analysis. Finally, RT-PCR was used to ensure the quality of total RNA.
