Description
The TAURUSDISPO® Whole Blood RNA Mini Kit is designed for rapid and efficient isolation of total RNA from frozen and fresh whole blood samples. The kit uses a chaotropic salt[1]based formula for cell lysis, RNase inactivation and RNA binding (>200 nt, e.g., 18S, 28S RNA, pri-miRNA) to silica membrane. The optional on-column DNase I digestion technique offers a convenient DNA removal method.
The high-purity RNA is eluted from the membrane by using a low-ionic-strength buffer.
This extracted total RNA is ready-to-use for downstream applications, such as real-time RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis, Northern blotting, primer extension, miRNA selection, etc.
