What are different methods for cleaning up my miRNA sample?
- Precipitation of miRNA: Follow the instructions for the mirVANA miRNA Isolation Kit or the mirVANA PARIS RNA and Native Protein Purification Kit.
- Double phenol/guanidium (chaotropic reagent) extraction: Disrupt tissue with phenol/guanidine, then extract with phenol, centrifuge, remove the supernatant, and precipitate the RNA.
- Glass-fiber filter: Disrupt the tissue in a chaotropic agent, bind the RNA to a glass-fiber filter, then wash off unbound DNA/protein/salt/nucleotides and elute the RNA.
