Introduction
The HiPure Fruit RNA Mini Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from fruits, cell, tissues, and yeast using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100µg RNA. There is no need for phenol/chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or precipitation with isopropanol or LiCl. RNA purified using the RaPure Total RNA Purification System can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA(mRNA) purification, nuclease protection and in vitro translation.

Principle
The Kit isolates total RNA from up to 150mg plant tissue. A short workflow enables RNA isolation with genomic DNA removal in less than 15 min. Samples are first lysed and homogenized. The lysate is passed through a DNA Mini column, ethanol is added to the flow-through, and the sample is applied to an RNA column. RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away. High-quality RNA is eluted in as little as 300µl water using the Kit.
Advantages
- Efficient DNA removal – one step RNA extraction can effectively remove genomic DNA
- High quality – one step RNA extraction reagent combined with silica gel column can obtain the highest concentration
- Fast – several samples can be extracted in 15 minutes by column method
- Wide range – samples including animals, plants, bacteria, cells, etc
- High output – large sample amount, and the yield can be up to 200μg

Storage and Stability

Purchase Guide
1. When dealing with woody or uncommon samples, R4150 is recommended first. R4150 contains two polysaccharide/polyphenol lysis buffer, which is the most universal product.
2. R4151 is recommended for handling common economic crop samples for the first time. Strong lysis solution can be used to process easy-extraction samples. The amount of corn or rice leaves samples can reach up to 300mg.
3. R4165 adopts CTAB/chloroform method, which can also handle a large number of difficult-to-extraction plants, but requires contact with chloroform substitutes, which is less safe than other kits. This kit uses DNase Ⅰ to remove DNA, which is also a good choice for extracting polysaccharide/polyphenol-rich plant samples.
4. R4014 is recommended for fruit/starch plant samples, which uses improved trizol pre-treatment, single column operation and is more economical.
