Remove Polysaccharides

One of the major issues with plant RNA isolation is the presence of problematic biomolecules, such as polyphenolic compounds and polysaccharides. The Ambion® Plant RNA Isolation Aid minimizes many of these contaminants with the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone, a high molecular weight polymer that binds to polyphenolics and polysaccharides and a pre-extraction spin step.

Preserve and Stabilize Your RNA

RNAlater® Solution is widely for the preservation of RNA in intact animal tissues, organs, and cells, and bacteria. It minimizes the need to immediately process samples for RNA isolation or to freeze them in liquid nitrogen for later processing.
