Isohelix™ Stoolfix Gut DNA Microbiome Stabilization Kits

Introduction
IBI Isolate is a phenol, chloroform and guanidine isothiocyanate based scalable solution for extracting high-quality total RNA as well as simultaneous extraction of RNA, DNA and protein from a wide variety of samples such as blood, buffy coat, plasma, serum, cultured cells and tissue. The extracted RNA can be used directly in a variety of downstream applications such as cDNA Library Construction, Cloning, RT-PCR (Endpoint), Real-Time PCR, Nuclease Protection Assays and Northern Blotting.

Quality Control
IBI Isolate is tested on a lot-to-lot basis. RNA from a 1 ml human blood sample is extracted using IBI Isolate. 10 µL from a 50 µL eluate of RNA is analyzed by electrophoresis on a 0.8% agarose gel.

Advantages
 Extract total RNA or simultaneous RNA, DNA and protein within 1 hour
 Sample: up to 300 µL (blood, buffy coat, serum, plasma), up to 5 x 106 (cultured cells), 50-100 mg (tissue)
 Scalable
 Format: phenol, chloroform and guanidine isothiocyanate

Applications
cDNA Library Construction, Cloning, RT-PCR (Endpoint), Real-Time PCR, Nuclease Protection Assays and 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.

Additional Requirements
RNA Extraction: chloroform, isopropanol, 70% ethanol, RNase-free Water, 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes (RNase-free) DNA Extraction: chloroform, absolute ethanol, 70% ethanol, sodium citrate/ethanol solution (0.1 M sodium citrate in 10% ethanol, pH 8.5), 8 mM NaOH solution or TE Buffer pH 8.5, 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes

Components and Storage
IBI Isolate is shipped at room temperature and can be stored dry at 2°C to 25°C for up to 9 months.
