miRNA purification & isolation kit—NucleoSpin miRNA

Extraction and purification of small RNA such as miRNA.

NucleoSpin miRNA is suitable for the simultaneous isolation and purification of small RNA (<200 nt; e.g., miRNA, pre-miRNA, tRNA, 5S RNA), large RNA (>200 nt; e.g., mRNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, pre-miRNA), and protein in three separate fractions from a large variety of sample materials.

NucleoSpin miRNA is suitable for the simultaneous isolation and purification of small RNA (<200 nt; e.g., miRNA, pre-miRNA, tRNA, 5S RNA), large RNA (>200 nt; e.g., mRNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, pre-miRNA), and protein in three separate fractions from a large variety of sample materials.

The precipitated protein can easily be dissolved in Laemmli buffer and used for SDS-PAGE, Western Blot analysis, and protein quantification with the Macherey-Nagel Protein Quantification Assay. The eluted RNA and miRNA are ready-to-use for all standard downstream applications, such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, and chip hybridization.

Overview

  • Effective isolation of miRNA, other RNA, and total RNA from a variety of samples
  • Effective purification of miRNA and total RNA in two fractions
  • Effective purification of miRNA and total RNA in one fraction
  • Ideal for isolation and purification of miRNA, siRNA, shRNA, snRNA, and other small RNAs
  • Isolate total protein fraction
  • Choice of lysis conditions, with or without phenol/chloroform
  • Complete kit includes all material
