Introduction

The HiPure Plant RNA Midi Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from plants, cell, tissues, and yeast using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 1mg 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 1g plant tissue. A short workflow enables RNA isolation with genomic DNA removal in less than 40 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 a RNA column. RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away. High-quality RNA is eluted in as little as 400µl water using the Kit.

Advantages

• Efficient removal of DNA – unique genomic DNA removal column without DNase treatment
• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – medium isolation of several samples can be completed in 40 minutes
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
• Broad spectrum – various types of plant samples can be processed by diversity of operating procedures

Storage and Stability

The Kit can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used. During shipment, crystals or precipitation may form in the Buffer RLC/PRC1. Dissolve by warming buffer to 37°C.

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.

Introduction

Hipure viral RNA kit is suitable for purifying viral RNA from samples such as cell-free body fluid or culture medium. The kit is based on silica gel column purification technology. It requires no toxic phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation in the extraction. The whole extraction process takes only 25 minutes. The kit is suitable for extracting viral RNA from 1-140µl cell-free fluid samples such as serum, plasma, cell-free body fluid or culture medium. The product has successfully extracted hepatitis B A/C, hepatitis C RNA, SARS and HIV. The obtained RNA can be directly used for RT-PCR, Northern hybridization and virus detection.

Principle

Hipure silica gel column is based on glass fiber filter membrane with high binding force. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as guanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bond and electrostatic, while protein and other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane adsorbed with nucleic acid is washed to remove the residual protein and salt. Finally, the nucleic acid adsorbed on the filter membrane can be washed out with low salt buffer (such as buffer TE) or water. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.

The sample is homogenized and lysed in the lysate, and RNA is released into the lysate. The high concentration of guanidine isothiocyanate contained in the lysate denatured and inactivated endogenous or exogenous RNase, while RNA is protected from degradation. The lysate is centrifuged to remove insoluble impurities. After adding ethanol to adjust the binding conditions, it is transferred to the column for filtration. RNA is adsorbed on the membrane of the column, while protein is removed without adsorption. The column is washed with buffer VHB to remove protein and other impurities, washed with buffer RW2 to remove salt. Finally the RNA is eluted by RNase free water. The eluted RNA can be directly used in RT-PCR, Northern blot, poly-A purification, in vitro translation, etc.

Advantages

• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 20 minutes by column method
• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
• High yield – carrier RNA contained in the product maximize the recovery of trace nucleic acid

Storage and Stability

Carrier RNA should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under theseconditions
