About ZR RNA MiniPrep™

The ZR RNA MiniPrep™ provides a quick method for high quality total RNA isolation from cells, needle biopsies, and tissue. The product isolates both large and small RNA species without the use of reducing agents or phenol. Small RNAs (e.g., tRNAs, microRNAs) can be recovered with a simple adjustment of the RNA isolation protocol. Eluted RNA is suitable for use in RT-PCR and other RNA-based procedures.

Recovery of small RNA. Total RNA isolated using the ZR RNA MicroPrep™ was resolved in an agarose gel (2-4) and small RNAs from the same sample were also resolved in a native polyacrylamide gel (6-7). Input = 105 yeast cells spiked with 1 µg ZR small-RNA™ Ladder (Zymo Research)

PCR amplification of ß-actin transcript post-RT (353 bp fragment shown): Total RNA from human epithelial cells (HCT 116) was isolated using the ZR RNA MicroPrep™.
