Description:

    RNAstore Blood RNA Kit is designed for isolation of total RNA from blood samples stored in RNAfixer( Same as RNAlater) Solution. Blood samples can be processed immediately, or they can be stored in RNAfixer Solution(provided with the kit) for a few days at ambient temperature or for prolonged periods at -20C prior to RNA extraction. The Kit RNA isolation procedure consists of two parts: 1. Cell lysis in a guanidinium-based solution and initial purification of the RNA by phenol/chloroform extraction 2. Final RNA purification by solid-phase extraction on a glass fiber filter. This procedure completely removes contaminants and enzyme inhibitors producing high-quality RNA. RNA purified using the Kit is ready for applications such as qRT-PCR.
