High-quality RNA for demanding downstream applications
Total RNA or split into small and large RNA fractions
Special versions for blood or virus RNA extraction available
Description
The SPLIT RNA Extraction Kit enables a fast and highly efficient extraction of RNA that is free of genomic DNA contamination. The RNA can be recovered as total RNA or split into two fractions, large RNA and small RNA, facilitating the analysis of e.g., mRNA and miRNA from the same sample. Thus the RNA obtained is ideal for seamlessly preparing libraries for Next Generation Sequencing of total RNA or its large and small fractions or any other demanding downstream application. The SPLIT RNA Extraction Kit for Blood enables concomitant depletion of globin mRNAs from human blood samples in low volumes (50 – 250 µl).
High Quality, High Yield
RNA extracted with the SPLIT RNA Extraction Kit has a high RIN quality score for all types of samples. A RIN of 10 and a 28S / 18S rRNA ratio of 2.7 can be obtained from cell culture. Extractions from tissue samples usually result in RNA with a RIN of 8.0 – 9.5.
Small RNA and Large RNA Fractions
The SPLIT kit can be used for the extraction of either total RNA ( 10,000 nt) or for the isolation of the large RNA fraction (cut-off at ~ 150 nt), with the option to obtain the small RNA fraction separately.
Rapid Turnaround
RNA can be extracted within 30 minutes.
Efficient miRNA Recovery
Efficient recovery of siRNA and miRNA down to 17 nt in the total RNA or in the small RNA fraction has been shown in spike-in experiments with small RNA markers .
