The QuickExtract RNA Extraction Kit is a fast, simple way of preparing RNA for RT-PCR (both end-point and real-time). The single-tube system requires only vortex mixing to lyse the cells, and prepare the RNA for cDNA synthesis. The result is easy processing of one to hundreds of samples in minutes, with no sample loss or toxic organic solvents. The QuickExtract RNA Extraction Solution works with cultured adherent and suspension cells including buccal cells, and has been tested on human, mouse, rat, E. coli, and S. aureus cell cultures. It is not suitable for tissue samples or plant samples. An optional DNase I treatment may improve certain downstream applications.
