The MagMAX™ mirVana™ Total RNA Isolation Kit is a comprehensive, phenol-free RNA extraction solution optimized for the isolation of total RNA, including small RNA species such as miRNA, siRNA, and non-coding RNA, from a wide range of biological sample types. Leveraging magnetic bead–based purification, this kit provides high yields of pure, intact RNA suitable for sensitive downstream applications including RT-qPCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), cDNA library preparation, and microarray analysis.
Designed for both manual and automated processing, the kit seamlessly integrates with KingFisher™ Duo Prime, KingFisher™ Flex, and KingFisher™ Apex magnetic particle processors, supporting flexible throughput—from small batches to 96 samples in a single run. It is especially useful for researchers requiring high-quality microRNA in addition to total RNA, eliminating the need for multiple kits.
Key Features
True Total RNA Recovery—Including Small RNAs
- Isolates full-spectrum RNA: microRNAs (miRNA), siRNA, long non-coding RNA, mRNA, and rRNA.
- Compatible with small and challenging RNA species critical for transcriptomic and regulatory studies.
Broad Sample Compatibility
-
Validated for:
- Serum/plasma (≤100 µL)
- Whole blood (≤50 µL)
- Tissue (≤50 mg)
- Urine (≤250 µL)
- Cultured cells (≤10⁶ cells)
Automation-Ready and Scalable
- Easily scaled from 6 to 96 samples.
- Fully compatible with KingFisher™ magnetic particle processors for walkaway automation or can be run manually using a magnetic stand.
Phenol-Free, Streamlined Protocol
- Safer and cleaner protocol with no organic solvents, simplifying waste disposal and enhancing lab safety.
- Reduced hands-on time compared to traditional column- or phenol-based RNA extraction methods.
High Yield and Purity
- Efficient binding of RNA using MagMAX™ magnetic beads improves yield consistency.
- TURBO™ DNase treatment eliminates contaminating DNA for cleaner downstream analysis.
- Avoids clogging problems associated with column filters—especially important for viscous or particulate samples.
