High Pure miRNA Isolation Kit Low to medium throughput miRNA isolation. Contents Tissue Lysis Buffer (for FFPE sections) Proteinase K, recombinant (for FFPE sections) Binding Buffer Binding Enhancer Wash Buffer Elution Buffer High Pure Filter Tubes Collection Tubes Benefits Isolate DNA-free miRNA ideal for qualitative and quantitative reverse transcription. Obtain excellent performance and linearity in RT-PCR. Save time with a simple, efficient protocol. Eliminate the need for organic solvent extraction. Generate stable, highly pure miRNAs. Background Information MicroRNAs are natural regulators of gene expression, affecting almost every cellular process (growth and development, cell differentiation, cell death). They occur naturally in diverse animal and plant species, and hundreds have been discovered since the late 1990s. A single miRNA can ramp down expression of multiple genes. Application The High Pure miRNA Isolation Kit is designed for the purification and enrichment of small RNAs such as microRNA (miRNA) from animal cells and tissue samples (including formalin-fixed/paraffin embedded [FFPE] sections) or plant material. It can also be used to purify total RNA or to prepare samples enriched for small RNA <100 nucleotides. The purified RNA is suitable for direct use in downstream applications such as northern blotting, miRNA array hybridization, and relative quantification of miRNA with RT-PCR |
