Description
Quantity: 96 preps
Unit Size: Each
The MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit purifies total RNA (including miRNA) from PAXgene™ Blood RNA Tubes using proven magnetic bead-based technology. A TURBO DNase™ step efficiently eliminates contaminating gDNA ensuring the highest purity RNA possible suitable for real-time RT-PCR and microarray analysis.Maximize Total RNA Yields From Blood SamplesThe MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit utilizes proven magnetic bead-based technology to purify maximal yields of total RNA from PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes. The MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit can recover 3-18 μg from a single PAXgene Blood RNA tube. A TURBO DNase step efficiently eliminates contaminating gDNA that can interfere with downstream applications and ensures the highest purity RNA possible. The MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit performs exceptionally well at purifying miRNA with total RNA from PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes without having to employ a separate miRNA protocol. One protocol does it all. The MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit can also detect miRNA from PAXgene Blood RNA tubes as shown by TaqMan™ gene expression assays. Users are strongly advised to perform appropriate validation studies against their miRNA targets.Rapid Processing TimeProcessing times will vary based on format selected, but twelve PAXgene Blood RNA tubes can be processed manually with the MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit in approximately 2 hours.An Alternative to Full PurificationFor users who perform primarily TaqMan-based real-time RT-PCR experiments, and do not need to archive RNA/cDNA, an alternative to the MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit is the Stabilized Blood-to-CT Nucleic Acid Preparation Kit for qPCR. This kit makes it possible to perform expression analysis directly from PAXgene Blood RNA tubes without conventional RNA purification.One-Stop ShoppingMagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit is compatible with reverse transcription mixes (SuperScript™), PCR master mixes (both TaqMan and SYBRbased), and other blood workflow products.
• Flexible purification format—use microfuge tubes, manual 96-well plates, or open-format automated 96-well plates from the same kit
• Simple magnetic bead workflow—no spin columns
• Total RNA without RNase activity, contaminating gDNA, or RT-PCR inhibitors
• Suitable for use with automated protocols, high-throughput compatibleFlexible Purification Formats
• The MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit can be processed in low-, medium- or high-throughput formats with superior workflow and handling compared to traditional competitive methods
• For low-throughput users, the MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit can be used in individual 1.5 mL microfuge tubes with the bead-RNA-complex remaining in a single processing tube until the final elution step
• For medium-to-high throughput users, the MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit can be done in a 96-well processing plate with either a single or multi-channel pipettor to accelerate the purification process
• For high-throughput users, the MagMAX for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit is compatible with manual and automated 96-well processing
• Simply process multiple batches of tubes in series or in parallel, through the up-front centrifugation process, to the convenient stopping point, until enough samples can be loaded onto a 96-well processing plate for the RNA purification steps
• The RNA purification process can be handled on either open-format liquid handlers, in conjunction with a 96-well magnetic stand on the deck, or magnetic bead movers like the MagMAX Express-96 Magnetic Particle Processor (deep well version only)
