The Ambion™ RNAqueous™-96 Automated Kit is used for automated, phenol-free total RNA isolation from 100-500,000 cells or 0.1–1 mg tissue using a guanidinium-based lysis/denaturant and glass fiber filter separation technology. The kit contains enough reagents for 384 (4 x 96) RNA purifications. The RNAqueous™-96 Automated Kit uses an RNA-binding glass-fiber filter to provide high, reproducible yields of intact RNA. An optional on-the-filter DNase treatment can be performed to ensure removal of genomic DNA for RT-PCR applications. Downloadable protocols for the use of this kit with specific liquid handling systems are available at our Automation Resource.
