What is the column cut-off size for the RiboPure RNA Purification Kits?

The column cut-off size is 200 nt. Using a RiboPure kit is not appropriate for miRNA recovery. For miRNA isolation, we would suggest using a mirVana kit, the TRIzol Plus RNA Purification Kit, or the PureLink RNA Micro Kit.

What are the differences in technology between the PureLink RNA Mini Kit and RiboPure RNA Purification Kits?

The PureLink RNA Mini Kit provides rapid column-based purification of total RNA, without organic lysis (phenol/chloroform). You can obtain up to 1,000 µg of purified RNA from a single extraction. The RiboPure RNA Purification Kits combine a phenol/guanidine thiocyanate solution with a glass-fiber filter purification method.

Do Tempus Blood RNA Tubes (Cat. No. 4342792) stabilize RNA similarly to RNAlater Stabilization Solution (Cat. No. AM7021)?

Both Tempus Blood RNA Tubes and RNAlater Stabilization Solution employ the same effective stabilization of mRNA expression profiles, and eliminate the need to isolate the RNA immediately after sample collection. However, there are some key differences:
- Components in each stabilization solution are different. The exact components and differences are proprietary.
- The RNAlater Stabilization Solution preserves RNA from degradation without lysing blood cells.
- Samples in RNAlater Stabilization Solution can be safely stored for up to 1 week at 25 degrees C, or up to 1 month at 4 degrees C.
