Product Description
Brand Qiagen
Product Type mRNA Kit
Pack Size 5 x 96 Wells
CAT No 72251
Application Molecular Reagent
The TurboCapture System uses unique oligonucleotide immobilization technology to provide a fast and simple procedure for high-throughput mRNA extraction. Cell lysates are added to the wells of a TurboCapture plate (96 or 384 wells), and mRNA is allowed to hybridize to the immobilized oligo-dT in each well. Contaminants are washed away, and the isolated mRNA is then either used directly in cDNA synthesis or eluted for use in downstream applications.
Efficient High-Throughput mRNA PurificationDesigned for research labs with demanding sample volumes, the TurboCapture 96 mRNA Kit (5) streamlines mRNA isolation from up to 480 samples per kit. It integrates a fast purification protocol (under 90 minutes for 96 samples) with magnetic bead-based technology, ensuring consistency and high purity suitable for sensitive downstream applications.
Automation Ready and Flexible WorkflowsThe kit is compatible with both manual handling and semi-automated platforms like Qiagen BioRobot, adapting seamlessly to your laboratory's throughput needs. Its 96-well plate format simplifies integration into existing automation infrastructure, allowing users to boost efficiency without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Reliable Results for Diverse ApplicationsWhether your research requires gene expression studies, RT-PCR, qPCR, microarray analysis, or NGS, the TurboCapture 96 mRNA Kit (5) provides the mRNA purity and yield essential for accuracy. The inclusion of DNase I ensures genomic DNA is thoroughly removed, supporting trustworthy data in even the most demanding applications.
