Description
Formalin-fixed tissue samples are a challenge for RNA extraction, often resulting in low yields of amplifiable RNA and poor performance in subsequent steps involving enzymatic manipulation, including reverse transcription and sequencing library preparation. Powered by proprietary CAT5™ technology, the RNAstorm™ extraction kit enhances the removal of formaldehyde-induced damage and provides RNA with higher yield and integrity as shown by a higher RIN score and higher DV200 (% RNA >200nt). For RNA with greater amplifiability in applications such as RNA-seq, qPCR, microarray, or other gene expression analysis, the RNAstorm™ 2.0 FFPE RNA Extraction kit is your best chance for success.
Features:
CAT5™ technology for chemical reversal of formaldehyde crosslinking
Extract higher yields of amplifiable RNA compared to other methods
Milder conditions and no harsh solvents
Higher quality RNA with less fragmentation
Better results in downstream analysis like PCR, microarray, or next-generation sequencing
Simple spin column-based workflow
Note: This kit is a replacement for catalog number CD501. It uses a modified deparaffinization protocol with a new Dewaxing Solution (provided in the kit). The new kit retains the same proprietary CAT5™ catalytic technology for highly efficient reversal of formaldehyde crosslinks as the original kit.
Also see the CELLDATA DNAstorm™ 2.0 FFPE DNA Extraction Kit (CD507) for extraction of high-quality DNA from FFPE tissue samples. The RNAstorm™ and DNAstorm™ kits can be combined to obtain both pure DNA and RNA from the same tissue section. The DNAstorm™/RNAstorm™ 2.0 FFPE Combination Kit (CD508) includes the RNAstorm™ 2.0 kit (CD506) and DNAstorm™ 2.0 kit (CD507)
