MagMAX-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific

Magnetic bead-based technology to purify total RNA

The MagMAX-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit is designed for the rapid, moderate-throughput purification of RNA from animal and plant cells and tissue. RNA purified using the kit is ideal for PCR and RT-PCR applications. The kit uses magnetic bead–based purification and includes sufficient reagents for 96 reactions.

Benefits of MagMAX magnetic bead–based purification Magnetic beads offer many benefits compared to other technologies for isolating RNA. Beads bind RNA more efficiently than glass fiber filters, resulting in higher and more consistent RNA yields. Additionally, because filters are not used, there is no risk of filter clogging due to cellular particulates in samples. Since only a small volume of magnetic beads is needed for high-efficiency binding, the bound RNA can be eluted in just 20–50µL of nuclease-free water, concentrating RNA from large, dilute samples.

Accommodates diverse sample types The kit accommodates diverse biological samples and a broad range of cell and tissue input amounts. The kit is optimized for high-throughput isolation of RNA from 25 cells to 2 x 10⁶ cells, as well as small plant and mammalian tissue samples (up to 10mg). The protocol is fully amenable to automation. Detailed guidelines for general automation are included with the kit.
