PureLink Total RNA Blood Kit allows purification of high-quality total RNA from 50 - 500 I14l fresh, whole mammalian blood, using non-phenol based purification in a simple spin column based protocol.
a RNA purification from whole blood in under an hour
a Yields high-quality RNA devoid of non-nucleated erythrocytes.
Efficient Manual RNA IsolationThis kit offers a simple, manual protocol optimized for isolating total RNA from human whole blood originating from EDTA, citrate, or heparin tubes. The silica-membrane spin column technology allows for high-yield, high-purity RNA, minimizing contaminants and inhibitors for accurate downstream molecular applications.
Flexible and User-Friendly DesignEach kit comes with pre-packed spin columns, collection tubes, buffers, and RNase-free water, ensuring a ready-to-use workflow. The process is straightforward and can be completed in under 60 minutes per sample, making it highly suited for both low- and medium-throughput research laboratories.
FAQ's of Thermo Fisher Scientific Invitrogen PureLink Total RNA Blood Kit:
Q: How does the PureLink Total RNA Blood Kit extract RNA from blood samples?
A: The kit utilizes a silica-membrane spin column purification method, which selectively binds RNA from lysed blood samples. Impurities and contaminants are efficiently washed away, while high-quality total RNA is eluted in RNase-free water for downstream use.
Q: What types of blood samples are compatible with this RNA extraction kit?
A: The kit is compatible with both fresh and stabilized human blood samples, including those collected in EDTA, citrate, or heparin tubes, making it versatile for various laboratory sample types.
Q: When should DNase treatment be used during the extraction process?
A: DNase treatment is optional and should be included during the protocol if removal of genomic DNA is required for sensitive downstream applications such as RT-qPCR or RNA sequencing.
Q: Where should the kit and its reagents be stored?
A: Most components can be stored at room temperature (15-25C). If the kit contains enzymes or sensitive reagents, these should be stored refrigerated as detailed in the kit's instruction manual.
Q: What is the typical processing time for isolating RNA with this kit?
A: Each sample can be processed in less than 60 minutes, allowing for quick RNA extraction and purification in manual, individual workflows.
Q: How much blood can be processed with a single preparation?
A: The kit supports extraction from 0.1 to 2.5 mL of whole blood per preparation, accommodating different sample sizes and research requirements.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this kit for RNA extraction?
A: The PureLink kit allows for efficient removal of contaminants and inhibitors, delivers high-purity, ready-to-use RNA, and is suitable for various molecular biology applications, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in laboratory research.
