The rYeast Total RNA Mini Kit was designed for total RNA purification from yeast and a wide variety of other fungus species. Sorbitol Buffer is included with the kit to reduce sample preparation time and minimize hands on time. Detergents and chaotropic salt are used to lyse cells and inactivate RNase while RNA is bound by the glass fiber matrix of the RNA spin column. Once any contaminants have been removed, using the Wash Buffer (containing ethanol), the purified total RNA is eluted by RNase-free Water. The entire procedure can be completed within 70 minutes and the purified RNA is ready for use in RT-PCR, Northern Blotting, Primer Extension, mRNA Selection and cDNA Synthesis.

Quality Control
The quality of the rYeast Total RNA Mini Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis by isolating RNA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (5 x 10  ) harvested by centrifugation at 5,000 x g for 10 minutes. A 5 µL aliquot of purified RNA from a 50 µL eluate is analyzed by electrophoresis on a 0.8% agarose gel.

*Add absolute ethanol (see the bottle label for volume) to Wash Buffer then mix by shaking for a few seconds. Check the box on the bottle. Be sure and close the bottle tightly after each use to avoid ethanol evaporation.

IBI's Viral Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit was specifically designed for purification of viral DNA/RNA from cell-free samples; such as serum, plasma, body fluids and the supernatant of viral-infected cell cultures. These kits are recommended for parallel purification of viral DNA including HBV and CMV, as well as viral RNA including HCV, HIV and HTLV. The detection limit for certain viruses depends on the sensitivity of individual PCR or RT-PCR assays.

IBI Tri-Isolate is a phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate plus spin column system for convenient purification of high-quality total RNA from a variety of samples. Initially, samples are homogenized in IBI Isolate without chloroform phase separation or isopropanol RNA precipitation. Following sample homogenization, simply bind, wash and elute the high-quality, total RNA in RNase-free Water and use in a variety of sensitive downstream applications.

IBIs MIDI and MAXI plasmid kits use pre-packed ion-exchange resin columns to purify plasmid or cosmid DNA from bacterial cultures. In the process, the modified alkaline lysis method and RNase treatment are used for creating cleared cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA and RNA contaminants. Using a gravity-flow procedure, the plasmid DNA in crude lystate has been bound to the column. he contaminants can be washed off with a wash buffer. Finally, the purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a high salt buffer and then precipitated with isopropanol for desalting. The entire procedure can be completed in less than 2 hours and the obtained high purity plasmid DNA is suitable for transfection, sequencing reactions, PCR, and in-vitro transcription.

Technical Details

In the presence of a chaotropic salt, the plasmid DNA in the lysate binds to the glass-fiber matrix in the spin column. The contaminants are washed off with an ethanol-based wash buffer. The purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a low salt elution buffer or water. This procedure does not require DNA phenol extraction or alcohol plasmid. Typical yields are 20-30 µg for high-copy numbered plasmids or 3-10 µg for low-copy numbered plasmids. The purified plasmid DNA is ready to use for restriction enzyme digestion, ligation, PCR, or sequencing reactions. The entire procedure can be completed in under 30 minutes.

The 96-Well Genomic DNA Kits are designed for high-throughput purification of total DNA (including genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA) from whole blood and a variety of animal tissues or cells. This method uses Proteinase K and a chaotropic salt to lyse cells and degrade proteins. DNA in the chaotropic salt is bound by the glass fiber matrix of each well. Once any contaminants have been removed, the purified DNA is eluted by a low salt elution buffer or water. The entire procedure can be completed in 1 hour without phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation. These kits can be used for manual filtration or with robotic handling systems, and purified DNA with approximately 20-30kb is suitable for PCR or other enzymatic reactions.

The Genomic DNA Mini Kit for Plants provide a quick and easy method for purifying total DNA (including genomic DNA, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA) from plant tissue. Samples are disrupted by both grinding in liquid nitrogen and lysis buffer incubation. The lysate is treated with RNase A to degrade RNA and then filtered to remove cell debris and salt precipitates. In the presence of the binding buffer, coupled with chaotropic salt, genomic DNA in the lysate binds to the glass fiber matrix of the spin column. Contaminants are removed using a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer or TE. The procedure does not require DNA phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation, and can be completed in less than 1 hour. The purified genomic DNA is ready for use in PCR, Real-time PCR, Southern Blotting and RFLP.
