Nucleic acid purification

Isolation of RNA from soil—NucleoBond RNA Soil and NucleoBond RNA Soil Mini

Efficient isolation of up to 600 µg of high-quality RNA from any kind of soil or sediment sample.

The NucleoBond RNA Soil and NucleoBond RNA Soil Mini kits are designed for the purification of RNA from soil and sediment samples. In combination with the DNA Set for NucleoBond RNA Soil (or DNA Set for NucleoBond RNA Soil Mini), RNA and DNA can be isolated from the same soil sample. Purified nucleic acids are suitable for metagenomic studies, for example, when the genome and transcriptome are analyzed from the same sample. NucleoBond RNA Soil Mini is a downscaled version of the NucleoBond RNA Soil kit.

Most soils contain relatively low amounts of RNA, compared to DNA. Therefore, these kits were designed with proven NucleoBond technology to enable variable sample inputs and yield pure nucleic acids. Sample lysis using our MN Bead Tubes Type A in the presence of the optimized Lysis Buffer E1 and phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol ensures efficient sample disruption. The optional Buffer OPT enables efficient RNA and DNA purification from mineral and organic soil samples.

NucleoBond® RNA Soil

20 Preps

USD $425.00

The NucleoBond RNA Soil kit employs anion exchange chromatography and silica spin purification for isolation of RNA from soil and sediment samples, and can be used in combination with the DNA Set for NucleoBond RNA Soil to obtain both DNA and RNA from the same sample. Nucleic acids purified with these kits are suitable for metagenomic studies, including genomic and transcriptomic analyses. Most soils contain relatively low amounts of RNA compared to DNA. Therefore, this kit was designed to accommodate high sample inputs in order to yield 1–10 µg of RNA. Sample lysis using MN Bead Tubes Type A in the presence of the optimized Lysis Buffer E1 and phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol ensures efficient sample disruption. The optional Buffer OPT enables efficient RNA and DNA purification from mineralic and organic soil samples. NucleoBond RNA Soil enables manual processing of 12 samples in approximately 1 hour. The kit includes sufficient quantities of reagents and materials for processing of 20 samples.
