  • Isolate RNA from whole blood in 45 minutes

Description

The BiOstic® Blood Total RNA Isolation Kit provides a way to purify RNA from up to 2 ml of whole blood or 10 millions cells using a fast and easy spin column.
This method uses a simple hypotonic red blood cell (RBC) lysis to obtain a white blood cell (WBC) pellet for extraction of RNA.

Silica Spin column products utilize the novel MO BIO flat bottom spin column design, which provides improved samples processing and yields. The bucket configuration allows for enhanced samples flow and membrane drying after wash step since the entire membrane is accessible for air flows.

The silica technology provides a robust and fast way to purify nucleic acids without the use of organic solvents or cesium chloride gradients.
