QIAGEN’s AllPrep DNA/RNA Micro, Mini, and 96 Kits are the go-to solutions for researchers who need to simultaneously purify DNA and RNA from cells and tissues, including small samples. These kits come in spin-column and 96-well format, making them versatile options for any lab.
The AllPrep DNA/RNA Micro Kit is specifically designed for small samples, allowing researchers to extract high-quality DNA and RNA from as few as 10 cells. This kit is ideal for experiments that require a small amount of starting material or for researchers who need to focus on a specific cell type. The kit’s spin-column format also promotes a rapid workflow, making it an efficient and convenient option for researchers with limited time.
On the other hand, the AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit is ideal for researchers who need to extract DNA and RNA from larger tissue samples. This kit is designed to process up to 30 mg of tissue, which is perfect for experiments that require more starting material. The AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit also utilizes a spin-column format that optimizes the purification process, ensuring that researchers can extract high-quality DNA and RNA quickly and efficiently.
For high-throughput labs, the AllPrep DNA/RNA 96 Kit is the perfect solution. Designed for use in a 96-well format, this kit allows researchers to process up to 96 samples at the same time. This is ideal for labs that need to process a large number of samples in one go or for researchers who need to minimize variation between samples. Again, the spin-column format ensures a rapid and efficient process while maintaining purity and quality.
All three kits follow the same protocol, which includes homogenization, lysis, and subsequent binding of DNA and RNA to separate columns. Following this, two separate elution steps for DNA and RNA are conducted, allowing researchers to separate the two nucleic acids for their respective downstream applications.
Overall, the AllPrep DNA/RNA Micro, Mini, and 96 Kits offer a range of options for researchers looking to extract high-quality DNA and RNA from various sources, including small samples. Regardless of the format chosen, researchers can rely on these kits to provide reproducible and consistent results across samples. With highly efficient purification methods, optimized for both purity and yield, Qiagen has provided researchers with reliable and effective tools for their roughest workflows.
