The E-Z96^® Plant RNA Kit provides a convenient and rapid method for the isolation of total RNA from a variety of plant samples. The kit includes a shredding/homogenizing plate to efficiently remove cell debris and simultaneously homogenize the lysate. In combination with the HiBind^® RNA plate, this permits purification of high quality RNA from as much as 100 mg tissue. The system is efficient enough to allow isolation of total RNA from as little as 10 mg of plant tissue. Typical yields are :

• Arabidopsis sp 30 µg


• Tobacco leaves 65 µg


• Mustard leaves 34 µg


• Maize 28 µg

Applications

Purified RNA has Abs₂₆₀/Abs₂₈₀ ratios of 1.8-2.0 and is suitable for the following applications :

• RT-PCR
• Northern Analysis
• Differential display
• Poly A⁺ RNA selection
