General description
Sigma′s GenElute™ Total RNA Purification Maxi Kit provides a rapid method for the isolation and purification of total RNA from cultured animal cells, tissue samples, blood, bacteria, yeast, fungi, plants and viruses. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, without the use of phenol or chloroform. The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.
- Isolate true total RNA including siRNA and microRNA

Features and Benefits
- Isolate a diversity of RNA species - All RNA species can be isolated, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)
- Fast and easy processing - Rapid spin-column format allows for the processing of 4 samples in under 40 minutes.
- No phenol:chloroform extractions – Total RNA is isolated without the use of harmful chemicals such as phenol or chloroform.
- Isolate total RNA from a wide variety of sources – Total RNA can be isolated from cultured animal cells, tissue samples, blood, bacteria, yeast, fungi, plants and viruses using this kit.
- Isolate inhibitor-free RNA suitable for downstream applications - Purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real-time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array analysis requiring the use of intact RNA
