Introduction

MagZol Reagent is a reagent system for the isolation of total RNA from cells and tissues. The reagent, a single-phase solution consisting of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate, is modification of the single-step RNA isolation method developed by Chomczynski and Sacchi. The sample is homogenized and lysed in MagZol Reagent which maintains the integrity of the RNA, while disrupting and denaturing endogenous RNases and other cellular components. Extraction of the lysate with chloroform further denatures proteins and separates the mixture into an organic and an aqueous phase. RNA remains exclusively in the aqueous phase, and is subsequently recovered by isopropanol.

This method is suitable for small quantities of tissue (<100mg) and cells (<5 X10⁶), and large quantities of tissue (up to 1g) and cells (<10⁸), of human, animal, plant, or bacterial origin. The simplicity of the MagZol Reagent method allows simultaneous processing of a large number of samples. The entire procedure can be completed in one hour. Total RNA prepared in this manner can be used for Northern blot analysis, dot blot hybridization, poly(A) + selection, in vitro translation, RNase protection assay, and molecular cloning. For use in amplification by thermal cycling, treatment of the isolated RNA with RNase-free DNase I is recommended when the two amplimers lie within a single exon.

Overview

• Isolate total DNA and RNA from all microorganisms found in water, including bacteria, fungi and algae
• RNA and DNA are both column purified simultaneously using the same column
• Elution contains concentrated DNA and RNA without the need for further precipitation
• Complete RNA (including microRNA) without phenol
• Isolated RNA and DNA are of high quality and integrity for all downstream applications
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

These kits provide a convenient and rapid method for the isolation of microorganisms from water samples. The kits allows for the rapid isolation and purification of total RNA and DNA simultaneously from the microorganisms found in different types of water samples. The total RNA and DNA (including genomic DNA) are isolated from all the microorganisms found in the water, including bacteria, fungi and algae without the use of any inhibitory organic substances The kit purifies genomic DNA, and all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The purified RNA and DNA are highly concentrated, and can be used directly in a number of downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, Northern blotting, Southern blotting and sequencing reactions.

Water RNA/DNA Purification Kit (Spin Column + Filters Kits)

These kits are available with 0.45 μm or 0.22 μm filter formats for capturing microorganisms present in the water.

Water RNA/DNA Purification Kit (Spin Column)

This kit is sold without filters columns.
