Mollusk RNA Kit (4 Preps)
Cat. No.: BMG-R6619-00
Size: 4 Preps
Description:
The Mollusk RNA Kit (4 Preps) is a specialized kit designed for efficient isolation of total RNA from mollusks and other invertebrate samples.
Applications:
- RNA extraction from mollusks, arthropods, roundworms, and flatworms
- Suitable for samples preserved in formalin, frozen, or stored in alcohol
- Downstream applications include RT-PCR, Northern blotting, and microarray analysis
- Useful for molecular biology, gene expression, and evolutionary studies on invertebrates
Features:
- Designed for mollusk and invertebrate tissues rich in mucopolysaccharides
- Isolates total RNA greater than 200 nucleotides in length
- Contains reagents for 4 RNA extractions
- Protocol can be completed in less than 30 minutes
- Includes specialized buffers for mucopolysaccharide-rich samples
- Uses CTAB and silica membrane technology for efficient contaminant removal
- Effectively removes genomic DNA contamination
