The ZymoBIOMICS MagBead RNA kit provides a high-throughput, magnetic beadbased purification of total RNA (including small/microRNAs) from any sample source (e.g., microbes including gram positive/negative bacteria, fungi, protozoans, viruses, feces, soil, plant, water, biofilms, swabs, saliva, body fluids and etc.). The provided DNA/RNA Shield inactivates infectious agents and is ideal for sample storage at ambient temperatures. Total RNA is eluted into ≥50 µl of ZymoBIOMICS DNase/RNase-Free Water and is ready for any downstream application including Next-Gen Sequencing, RT-qPCR, etc.
