ZymoBIOMICS RNA Mini Kit, 50 Preps

The ZymoBIOMICS RNA Miniprep Kit is designed for purifying RNA from a wide array of sample inputs that is ready for microbiome or metagenome analyses. The ZymoBIOMICS lysis system eliminates bias associated with unequal lysis efficiencies of different organisms (e.g. Gram-negative/positive bacteria, fungus, protozoans, and algae). The procedure uses Zymo-Spin Column technology that results in high-quality total RNA (including small RNAs 17-200 nt) that is free of PCR inhibitors and is ready for RT-PCR, hybridization, sequencing, etc. DNase I included.Unbiased Lysis: Efficient and unbiased lysis of microbes including Grampositive/negative bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and viruses from any sample (feces, soil, plant, water, biofilms, swabs, saliva, body fluids, etc.) Ultra-Pure: Total RNA (including small/micro RNAs) is inhibitor-free and ready for qPCR and microbiome measurements using Next-Gen Sequencing. High Sensitivity: Increased detection limit of very low abundance organisms.Storage Temperature: Room TemperatureStorage Conditions: Room TemperatureEquipment: Microcentrifuge, vortex, cell disrupter (recommended)Purity: RNA is ready for Next-Gen sequencing, RTPCR, microarray, hybridization, etc. A260/A280, A260/A230: >1.8.Sample Source: Bacterial, fungal, protozoan, algae, viral, mitochondrial, and host RNA is efficiently isolated from 200 mg of mammalian feces, 250 mg soil, 200 mg plant/seed, 50-100 mg (wet weight) fungal bacterial cells, biofilms, and water. Size Range: Total RNA 17 nt Yield: 100 μg RNA (binding capacity), 50 μl (elution volume)Shipping Weight: 2.5 lbsShipping Dimensions: 9.00 x 9.00 x 6.00Research or further manufacturing use only, not for food or drug use.
