IBI Tri-Isolate Total RNA Kits (Variety of Samples)

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.

Quality Control
IBI Tri-Isolate is tested on a lot-to-lot basis. An Escherichia coli (1 x 109) culture (OD600=1.3, 1 mL) is harvested by centrifugation at 16,000 x g for 2 minutes, followed by IBI Isolate homogenization. RNA is then purified using a spin column procedure. 10 µL from a 50 µL eluate of purified RNA is analyzed by electrophoresis on a 0.8% agarose gel.

Advantages

• Purify total RNA within 15 minutes without chloroform phase separation or isopropanol RNA precipitation
• Up to: 200 µL (blood, buffy coat, serum, plasma), 5 x 106 (cultured cells), 10-50 mg (tissue), 1 x 109 (bacteria cells)
• A cost effective phenol, guanidine isothiocyanate solution plus spin column system
• High quality RNA: A260/A280 >1.8, A260/A230 >1.8
• Applications: cDNA Library Construction, Cloning, RT-PCR (Endpoint), Real-Time PCR, Nuclease Protection Assays,
• Northern Blotting

Caution
IBI Isolate contains phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate. During operation, always work in a fume hood, always wear a lab coat, disposable gloves, protective goggles and (anti-fog) procedure mask. Disposable/non-disposable glassware, plasticware and automatic pipettes should be sterile (RNase-free) and used only for RNA procedures.

Components and Storage

*Add absolute ethanol (see the bottle label for volume) to Wash Buffer prior to initial use.
