RiboZol™ RNA Extraction Reagent
RiboZol™ is a ready-to-use, single phase RNA extraction reagent that produces high yields of total RNA in less than one hour. RiboZol™ yields excellent results from even the most difficult of cells and tissues and is compatible with a variety of downstream applications including: Northern analysis, dot blots, cloning,
in vitro translation of Poly (A+) selected RNA, and RT-PCR.
Total RNA was extracted from K562 cells (1x106 cells) with RiboZol™ RNA Extraction Reagent. RNA pellets were resuspended in RiboReserve™ RNA Storage Buffer. Samples were electrophoresed on a 1.2% Agarose I formaldehyde gel. Lane 1: RiboReady™ 1 Kb RNA Ladder; Lanes 2 & 3: RiboZol™ extracted RNA samples.
High yields of total RNA with RiboZol™ RNA Extraction Reagent
RiboZol™ extracted RNA yields from 2 different cell lines. Data provided by Eunmi Ho, Catholic University, Korea. RNA was extracted from HeLa cell cultures (purple bars) 1x10
6 cells and from CaSki cultures (magenta bars) 1x10
6 cells according to standard procedures. Total RNA yields were determined by OD
260
Excellent Purity
Purity of RiboZol™ extracted RNA from 2 different cell lines. Data provided by Eunmi Ho, Catholic University, Korea. RNA was extracted from HeLa cell cultures (purple bars) 1x106 cells and from CaSki cultures (magenta bars) 1x106 cells according to provided procedures. RNA purity was determined by the OD260/280 ratio.
Compatible with downstream applications
cDNA synthesis/PCR from RiboZol™ extracted RNA. Data provided by Beth Sullivan, PhD. Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC. cDNA synthesis: mRNA was extracted from GM08854-mouse/ Human Chr21 hybrid cells with RiboZol™ or with a competitor’s reagent. 2 μg samples were added to SuperScript®III First Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen) as templates for reverse transcription. PCR reactions: 0.5 μl of each cDNA was added to PCR reactions containing primers to mouse beta actin. Samples were removed after 35 cycles and loaded onto 2% agarose gels.
