Zygem has announced the launch of its RNAGem Tissue RNA extraction kits.
The RNAGem Tissue kits feature an optimised formulation of the company's enzymatic technologies that uses a single-tube process to provide complete extraction of RNA, including smaller RNA molecules such as non-coding RNA and micro-RNA.
The kits are said to deliver higher molecular weight RNA and more representative transcriptome profiles than other methods and are well suited for complete gene expression and non-coding RNA analyses.
RNAGem Tissue kits have been shown to produce consistent, linear yields of nuclear RNA, thereby ensuring 100 per cent reproducible results.
Using the kits, researchers can prepare samples up to 10 times faster than with existing RNA extraction products, according to Zygem.
The company added that the entire extraction process can be accomplished in less than 20 minutes, including handling time.
The kits require only a single incubation temperature, which also allows less opportunity for sample degradation than traditional extraction methods.
