GenElute 96 Well Total RNA Purification Kit allows for the high-throughput purification of total RNA from cells or tissue. The kit utilizes the advantages of silica membrane technology and eliminates the use of hazardous organic compounds such as phenol and chloroform.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has Inherently Safer Chemistry, compared to the standard use of phenol and chloroform to perform DNA extractions.
Application
The purified total RNA is ready for use in any enzymatic downstream application.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sigma′s GenElute 96 Well Total RNA Purification Kit provides a simple and convenient way to isolate total RNA from cells or tissue. The cells or tissue are lysed in a solution containing large amounts of chaotropic salt which immediately inactivates RNases that are present in almost all biological materials. The addition of a Wash Buffer provides the necessary binding conditions for the RNA to be adsorbed to the silica membrane. The contaminating DNA which may be bound to the silica membrane is removed by directly applying RNase-free DNase. The remaining salts, proteins, and other cellular debris are removed by additional washing steps. The final step is to elute the purified RNA in the RNAase-free water that is supplied in the kit.
