Overview

• Isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
• ​Versatile sample input ranges
• Isolate all sizes of free-circulating RNA, including microRNA
• The purified exosomal RNA is free from any circulating RNA-binding proteins
• No phenol extractions, Proteinase K treatment, nor carrier RNA
• No time-consuming ultracentrifugation, filtration nor special syringes are required
• No precipitation reagents, nor overnight incubation required
• Concentrate isolated exosomal RNA and are free-circulating RNA into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL
• Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to sequentially isolate and concentrate exosomal RNA as well as Free-Circulating RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA as well as all sizes of the free-circulating protein-bound RNA, including microRNA. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, these kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. Moreover, the free-circulating, protein-bound, RNA is free from any exosomal RNA. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.

Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.

Introduction

The Kit provides fast purification of high-quality DNA, RNA and Prote from cells, tissues, and yeast using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100ug RNA. There is no need for phenol/chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation, or precipitation with isopropanol or LiCl are eliminated. RNA purified using the HiPure Total RNA Purification System is ready 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 10 ⁷ cells or 30 mg tissue. A short workflow enables RNAisolation with genomic DNA removal in less than 25 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 30 µl water using the Kit.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA / DNA can be directly used in a variety of downstream applications
• Fast – column method can complete the extraction of several samples in 30 minutes
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Simultaneous extraction- simultaneously isolate DNA and RNA from one sample

Product Stability and Storage Conditions

• All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
• Once reconstituted, repeated thawing and freezing (>2 times) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
• Each kit is provided with 4 tubes of 2X PCR Master Mix and each tube is enough to run 25 reactions. It is not necessary to reconstitute all Master Mix tubes at once. The Master Mix tubes can be reconstituted as and when needed.
• All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
