RNAstable

rnastable Features
  • Preserve and store RNA at room temperature.
  • Protect RNA sample integrity.
  • Fast - requires less than two minutes of hands-on preparation time.
  • Rapidly and completely recover samples - just add water.
  • Use samples recovered directly in downstream applications.

Biomatrica RNAstable Kit 93221-001 25 $99


Product Description
RNAstable® enables you to store total RNA and poly(A) RNA samples at room temperature for months. When you are ready to use your samples, 100% of the RNA can be recovered in 10 minutes or less and then used directly in downstream applications. RNAstable saves time, energy and costs associated with conventional cold storage methods.


Applications
Use samples recovered from RNAstable directly in downstream applications, without the need for further purification:
  • Quantitative Real-Time PCR
  • Bioanalyzer and microarray analysis
  • End-point PCR and gel analysis
  • cDNA Synthesis
  • Reverse transcription

Key Figures
Figures 1 & 2: RNAstable protects RNA integrity at room temperature.
Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer electropherograms are shown on the left and an agarose gel on the right. Results do not indicate any appreciable degradation of samples stored in RNAstable for 29 months at room temperature 25°C (Figure 1B & Figure 2 Lane 2), as compared to -80°C freezer control samples (Figure 1A & Figure 2 Lane 1), and with the accelerated aging (Figure 1C & Figure 2 Lane 3) at 45°C. Accelerated aging of 29 months at 45°C is equivalent to RNA stored in RNAstable for 12 years at 25°C. The unprotected control stored at 25°C degraded after 3 months.
