The kit provides high quality RNA that is suitable for downstream applications, such as amplification or other enzymatic reactions. The product is intended to be used by professional users, such as technicians and physicians who are trained in molecular biological techniques.

Principle

Magnetic particle technology combines the speed and efficiency of silica based nucleic acid purification with the convenient handling of magnetic particles. The purification procedure is designed to ensure safe and reproducible handling of potentially infectious samples. The purification procedure comprises 4 steps: lysis, binding, washing and elution.
Lysis: The samples are lysed first in the presence of RNA lysis buffer, which allows the RNA to be released.
Binding: Binding buffer is added to the lysed samples to adjust binding conditions. Lysates are thoroughly mixed with magnetic particles to allow optimal adsorption of RNA to the silica surface. Salt and pH conditions ensure that protein and other contaminants, which can inhibit PCR and other downstream enzymatic reactions, are not bound to the magnetic particles.
Washing: While the RNA remains bound to the magnetic particles, contaminants are efficiently washed away during a sequence of wash steps using wash buffer R1, wash buffer R2 and finally wash buffer R3.
Elution: Highly pur e RNA is eluted into elution buffer. The purified RNA can be either used immediately for downstream applications or stored for future use.
