RNA isolation or purification—mini spin columns
NucleoSpin RNA is recommended for isolation and purification of total RNA from cultured cells, tissue, bacteria, yeast, cell-free biological fluids, and reaction mixtures without the use of organic compounds (e.g., Trizol). This kit allows purification of up to 70 µg of highly pure, DNA-free total RNA. Alternatively, you may be interested to learn about the next generation of this RNA purification kit, NucleoSpin RNA Plus.

Total RNA prepared with NucleoSpin RNA is suitable for applications such as real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), Northern blotting, primer extension, array technology, and RNase protection assays. For isolation of high-quality RNA, it is important to prevent degradation of the RNA and to eliminate genomic DNA. With the NucleoSpin RNA method, cells are lysed in the presence of chaotropic salts. The lysis buffer immediately inactivates RNases, which are present in virtually any biological material, and creates appropriate conditions for RNA to bind to the silica membrane. After lysis, homogenization and reduction of viscosity are achieved by filtration with NucleoSpin Filter units (shredders), which are provided with the kit. Residual genomic DNA is efficiently removed by on-column digestion with rDNase, which is also included in the kit.

The better way to isolate RNA
Critical factors when purifying RNA are the complete removal of contaminating DNA (gDNA) and the immediate prevention of degradation of RNA. The NucleoSpin RNA Plus kit introduces the NucleoSpin gDNA Removal Column, a spin column which quickly and completely removes genomic DNA contamination without the need for DNase digestion. To maintain RNA integrity, cells and tissues are first lysed by incubation in a chaotropic ion lysis buffer solution, which immediately inactivates RNases.
