Specialized and Automated RNA Isolation Support
Explore the “Getting Started” and “Troubleshooting” sections for solutions to top inquiries and common problems. Browse through the “Guides and Tools” section to access comprehensive product-related support resources.
Getting Started
- I am interested in isolating mRNA. Can I use one of your kits to isolate mRNA directly from my starting sample or do I need to isolate total RNA and enrich for mRNA?
- What is the minimum RNA size that is isolated using RNaqueous® kits?
- I want to isolate miRNA from formalin-fixed and unfixed laser capture microdissection (LCM) samples. Which kit will be best for this?
- What is the best way to analyze RNA that I've isolated using a RiboMinus™ kit?
- I need to download a script or protocol to my MagMAX™ Magnetic Particle Processor for a specific kit. Where can I get this?
Troubleshooting
- My miRNA sample is not very clean. Can you please offer some tips for cleaning it up?
- I have cells infected with virus and would like to isolate only the viral nucleic acids. Can I use your viral RNA/DNA isolation kits?
- What should I do if the magnet set is dirty in the MagMAX™ Express Magnetic Particle Processor?
- What should I do if I forget to insert the tip combs into the tip comb holder in the MagMAX™ Express Magnetic Particle Processor?
- The MagMAX™ Express Magnetic Particle Processor will not pick up the tip comb. Any suggestions of what to do?
