ZR-Duet™ DNA/RNA MiniPrep
 
Quick (15 minute) isolation and separation of genomic DNA and total RNA (up to ~25 μg) from a wide range of sources using Fast-Spin column technology.
DNA/RNA eluted into volumes ≥25 μl is suitable for use in PCR, RT-PCR and other procedures.
Omits the use of organic denaturants, β-mercaptoethanol, and proteases.
 
Format: Spin Column
Sample Sources: Cells, small amounts of easy-to-lyse tissue, buffy coat, buccal cells, plasma, serum, and other biological liquids. Not compatible with whole blood. (For purification of DNA and RNA from whole blood see the Quick-gDNA™ MiniPrep (D3024) and the ZR Whole-Blood RNA MiniPrep (R1020))
Sample Size: 102 to 5x106 cells in suspension or as tissue.
DNA/RNA Recovery: up to 25 μg DNA/RNA can be eluted into ≥25 μl.
Size Limits: Capable of recovering genomic DNA up to and above 40 kb. In most instances, mitochondrial DNA and viral DNA (if present) will also be recovered. Total RNA ≥17 nucleotides can be recovered.
Purity: High quality genomic DNA and total RNA (A260/A280 > 1.8, A260/A230 > 1.8) is recovered.
RNA Storage: -70°C
Equipment Needed: Microcentrifuge
 

The ZR-Duet™ DNA/RNA MiniPrep provides a quick method for the isolation of high quality genomic DNA and total RNA from small amounts of cells and tissue. The kit isolates both genomic DNA and a broad range of RNA species without the use of phenol. Small RNAs (e.g., tRNAs, microRNAs) can be recovered following a simple adjustment within the RNA isolation protocol – no extra steps are required! Both DNA and RNA from up to 5x106 cells can be eluted into volumes as little as 25 µl in less than 15 minutes.
