Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent

The Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent is designed for use with TRIzol® Reagent to improve the isolation of intact total RNA up to 3-fold from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent is a ready-to-use solution composed of chelating agents, detergent, and a buffer, and is used as an efficient pre-treatment buffer for bacterial cells prior to RNA isolation with TRIzol® Reagent. The use of Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent with TRIzol® inactivates endogenous RNases and promotes protein denaturation, improving the RNA quality and integrity. The Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent is available either separately or packaged with TRIzol as part of the TRIzol® Max™ Bacterial RNA Isolation Kit (Cat. No. 16096020 or 16096040).
