The Quick-RNA™ MicroPrep is an innovative product designed for the easy, reliable, and rapid isolation of total RNA from cultured cells or solid tissue samples. The procedure combines a unique, single-step RNA extraction/binding buffer with Fast-Spin column technology to yield high quality RNA in minutes. The method is easy: simply add the provided ZR RNA Buffer to extract total RNA from the cells of interest and then purify the RNA using the provided spin column. The result is highly-concentrated, purified RNA that is suitable for subsequent RNA-based methods including RT-PCR, hybridization, etc.

 

Human RNA isolated from cell culture with the Quick-RNA™ MiniPrep Kit. M: 1 kb DNA marker (Zymo Research); 1, 2: duplicate RNA preparations.

PCR amplification of a β-actin transcript (353 bp fragment shown) following RNA isolation from human epithelial cells (HCT 116) with the Quick-RNA™ MidiPrep: RT-PCR (lanes 1, 2), PCR negative control (RNA template; lanes 3, 4). M1 and M2 are 100 bp and 1 kb DNA Markers, respectively (Zymo Research).
