Product overview

The NucleoSpin RNA Stool kit is designed for the efficient isolation of RNA, including small RNA species, from fresh and frozen stool samples. The kit combines a chemical disruption of the stool sample using NucleoZol and Lysis Buffer RST1 with a mechanical lysis using MN Bead Tubes Type A (which contain ceramic beads). No protease digestion is required.

Combination of mechanical homogenization and chemical lysis ensures high RNA recovery, including small RNA
Effective removal of PCR inhibitors
Suitable for various human and animal stool samples

Back Total RNA isolated with NucleoZOL contains much less DNA contamination than a leading competitor Total RNA isolated with NucleoZOL contains much less DNA contamination than a leading competitor. Total RNA was isolated from 50 mg rat lung tissue using NucleoZOL and a competitor’s ZOL (RNA isolation reagent) that requires a standard two-phase extraction. DNA contamination was quantified by qPCR (competitor’s ZOL=100%). A minimal amount of DNA is carried over during purification with NucleoZOL, compared to the competitor’s ZOL. Back NucleoZOL provides similar or better RNA yields than a leading competitor NucleoZOL provides similar or better RNA yields than a leading competitor. RNA was extracted from different starting materials using NucleoZOL and a competitor’s ZOL (RNA isolation reagent) that requires a standard two-phase extraction. In each case, RNA was quantified by qRT-PCR and relative yields were calculated (NucleoZOL=100%). RNA isolation with NucleoZOL results in similar or better RNA yields than the competitor’s ZOL. Back No phenol carryover is observed when isolating total RNA with NucleoZOL, unlike a leading competitor No phenol carryover is observed when isolating total RNA with NucleoZOL, unlike a leading competitor. Total RNA was isolated from 50 mg rat lung tissue using NucleoZOL and a competitor’s ZOL (RNA isolation reagent) that requires a standard two-phase extraction. The A₂₆₀/A₂₃₀ absorption ratio of total RNA isolated using NucleoZOL indicates excellent purity. The lower A₂₆₀/A₂₃₀ ratio of total RNA isolated using the competitor’s ZOL indicates a phenol carryover. Back 740404.200: NucleoZOL
