The purification methods of our Total RNA Purification Kits range from organic extraction reagents all the way to spin columns and magnetic beads.

Starting with high quality, pure, and intact total RNA is critical to many experiments (e.g. RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, array analysis, Northern blots, nuclease protection assays, and RNA-sequencing). The table below will help you choose the right Invitrogen product to purify total RNA from your specific sample type and sample size.

Thermo Scientific GeneJET RNA Purification Kit is a simple and efficient system for purification of total RNA from mammalian cultured cells, tissue, human blood cells, bacteria, and yeast.

The kit utilizes a silica-based membrane technology in the form of a convenient spin column, eliminating the need for tedious cesium chloride gradients, alcohol precipitation, or toxic phenol-chloroform extractions.

RNA molecules longer than 200 nucleotides can be isolated with the GeneJET RNA Purification Kit in 15 minutes after the lysis step. The high-quality purified RNA can be used in a wide range of downstream applications, including RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, Northern blotting, and other RNA-based analyses.

General description

Sigma′s GenElute Total RNA Purification Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA from cultured animal cells, tissue samples, blood, plasma, serum, bacteria, yeast, fungi, plants and viruses. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

  • Isolate true total RNA including siRNA and microRNA
  • Rapidly remove contaminating genomic DNA without the use of enzymes
  • No phenol or chloroform extractions
  • Purify high-quality RNA in 20 minutes
  • Extract RNA from as little as a single cell
  • Isolate from a wide variety of specimens

Application

GenElute Total RNA Purification Kit is used for the extraction of total RNA:

  • From whole blood samples in the detection of Hepatitis C Virus using a reverse transcriptase-polymerase spiral reaction (RT-PSR) system.
  • From an overnight culture of bacterial strains in TSB medium in determining the effects of curcumin and silymarin on virulence and carbapenemase genes among multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolates.

GenElute Total RNA Purification Kit has been used to:

  • Quantitative, real-time RT-PCR for both large mRNA and small RNA including miRNA
  • RT-PCR for both large mRNA and small RNA including miRNA
  • Expression profiling
  • Next Generation Sequencing for RNA and miRNA
  • miRNA from plasma for discovery
  • microRNA cloning and amplification
  • PCR-based virus detection
  • PCR-based viable bacteria detection
  • Northern blotting
  • RNase protection
  • Primer extension
  • miRNA array
  • RNA-Seq
  • Nanostring
  • Fluidigm
