ZR RNA MicroPrep™
 
• Quick (~15 minute) RNA isolation from a wide range of sources using Fast-Spin column technology.
• RNA eluted into volumes ≥6 µl is suitable for use in RT-PCR and other RNA-based procedures.
• Omits the use of organic denaturants, ß-mercaptoethanol and proteases.
• RNAlater™ compatible.
 
• Sample Sources: Cells from culture or small amounts of solid tissue.
• Sample Size: 101 - 105 cells in suspension or solid form.
• RNA Purity: High quality RNA (A260/A280>1.8, A260/A230>1.8) is recovered.
• RNA Recovery: RNA can be eluted into small volumes, ≥6 µl allowing for a highly concentrated sample. Maximum RNA binding capacity of provided column is ~5 µg.
• Storage: ≤-70ºC. The addition of RNase inhibitors is optional but highly recommended for prolonged storage.
 

The ZR RNA MicroPrep™ provides a quick method for high quality total RNA isolation from small amounts of cells and tissue.

The ZR RNA MicroPrep™ isolates large and small RNA species without the use of phenol or reducing agents. Small RNAs (e.g. tRNAs, microRNAs) can be recovered quantitatively following a simple adjustment to the RNA isolation protocol - no extra steps required! RNA from 101 to 105 cells can be eluted into volumes as little as 6 µl in less than 15 minutes.

The ZR RNA MicroPrep™ can be used to isolate total RNA from hard-to-lyse samples with the RNA Lysis Buffer and the ultra-high density ZR BashingBeads™ coupled with high-speed cell disrupters (e.g., FastPrep®-24) or to purify RNA directly from mixed DNA/RNA samples (e.g., in vitro transcription/translation).
