Arcturus introduces the PicoPure RNA isolation kit for the recovery of RNA from laser capture microdissection (LCM) cells, delivering RNA in as little as 10µl of buffer
PicoPure is optimised to recover the maximum amount of total cellular RNA, while maintaining RNA integrity and recovering even low-abundance mRNA.
The kit delivers RNA in as little as 10µl of buffer, ready for use in gene expression studies.
The isolated RNA may then be amplified with Arcturus's RiboAmp RNA amplification kit to produce microgram quantities, ready for labelling and hybridisation onto microarrays.
The PicoPure RNA isolation kit comes complete with all buffers and purification columns as well a validated, three-step isolation protocol.
Each kit contains supplies for ten isolations.
PicoPure Kits are part of Arcturus's integrated System for Microgenomics centered around the company's PixCell II laser capture microdissection system.
When used in combination, Arcturus instruments and kits increase the reliability and reproducibility of gene expression studies performed on microarrays.
