FAQs of Qiagen RNeasy 96 Universal Tissue Kit (4):
Q: How does the RNeasy 96 Universal Tissue Kit purify total RNA?
A: This kit utilizes a silica membrane-based 96-well plate, combined with proprietary buffers, to isolate RNA from homogenized tissue lysates. The process includes binding RNA to the membrane, washing away impurities, and eluting high-quality RNA suitable for downstream applications.
Q: What types of tissues can be processed with this kit?
A: The kit is optimized for various sample types, including animal, human, plant, and fungal tissues. It accommodates up to 30 mg of tissue per well, making it versatile for many research applications.
Q: When should I use this kit in my laboratory workflow?
A: This kit is ideal for situations where high-throughput RNA purification is required, such as gene expression studies or large-scale screening projects with multiple tissue samples. Its rapid and efficient protocol is designed to save time in busy research environments.
Q: Where can the RNeasy 96 Universal Tissue Kit be used?
A: This kit is intended for laboratory use and research applications. It is well-suited for workflow integration in academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical laboratories, and anywhere that reliable, high-quality RNA isolation is needed from diverse tissue types.
Q: What is the general process for using the kit?
A: The protocol involves lysing the tissue sample, binding the RNA to the silica membrane in the 96-well plate, multiple washing steps to remove contaminants, and finally eluting the purified RNA into collection tubes. The process supports both manual handling and automation.
Q: What benefits does this kit offer over standard RNA extraction methods?
A: Key benefits include high throughput (processing up to 96 samples simultaneously), rapid purification, consistent high yields, and excellent purity. The compatibility with automated platforms also reduces hands-on time and risk of errors, enhancing laboratory efficiency.
