The Total RNA Isolation Kit provides a fast, simple, and cost-effective method for isolation of total RNAfrom plant samples. Detergents and chaotropic salt are used to lyse cells and inactivate RNase. Thespecialized high-salt buffering system allows RNA species longer than 100 bases to bind to the glassfiber matrix of the spin column. The Total RNA Isolation Kit is suitable for a variety of routine applicationsincluding RT-PCR, cDNA Synthesis, Northern Blotting, Differential display, Primer Extension and mRNAselection. The entire procedure can be completed within 60 minutes.
