Trizol Reagent, Features : The Most Classic Formula, The Most Widely Used, The Most Stable Yield

The TRAzol RNA Purification Kit provides a simple, reliable, and rapid method for isolating high–quality total RNA from a wide variety of samples, including animal and plant cells and tissue, bacteria, and yeast. The kit utilizes the strong lysis capability of TRAzol Reagent. TRAzol Reagent maintains the integrity of the RNA, while disrupting cells and dissolving cell components. Addition of chloroform followed by centrifugation, separates the solution into an aqueous phase and an organic phase. RNA remains exclusively in the aqueous phase. After transfer of the aqueous phase, the RNA is recovered by precipitation with isopropyl alcohol. After removal of the aqueous phase, the DNA and proteins in the sample can be recovered by sequential precipitation. Precipitation with ethanol yields DNA from the interphase, and an additional precipitation with isopropyl alcohol yields proteins from the organic phase. Copurification of the DNA may be useful for normalizing RNA yields from sample to sample. Total RNA isolated by TRAzol Reagent is free of protein and DNA contamination. It can be used for Northern blot analysis, dot blot hybridization, poly (A)+ selection, in vitro translation, RNase protection assay, and molecular cloning.
