The Invitrogen™ PureLink™ FFPE RNA Isolation Kit provides a reliable and efficient method for isolating high-quality total RNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. Designed specifically for retrospective gene expression studies, this kit eliminates the need for toxic organic solvents like xylene, instead employing a simple heating procedure for deparaffinization and RNA recovery.
With a streamlined workflow, RNA isolation can be completed in 30–40 minutes, compared to days with older methods. The heating step partially restores RNA structure, improving template quality for cDNA synthesis and downstream RT-PCR applications.
Key Features
- Fast Protocol – RNA extraction completed in 30–40 minutes.
- Non-Toxic Workflow – Deparaffinization by heating, no xylene or hazardous solvents.
- High Yield & Purity – Recovers RNA suitable for RT-PCR products >1 kb in length.
- Low DNA Contamination – Minimizes genomic DNA carryover; includes DNase I option.
- Reliable Results – Produces RNA with maximum yield and minimal degradation.
Applications
- Reverse transcription (RT).
- Real-time PCR (qPCR) and qRT-PCR.
- Microarray analysis.
- cDNA library construction.
- Northern blotting, nuclease protection assays, and in vitro translation.
