Simplified RNA Extraction

  • Reduce pre-extraction handling to 4 steps
  • Extract RNA from 16 samples in <1 hour using paramagnetic-particle processing on the Maxwell® 16 instrument
  • Avoid complex and time consuming instrument setup associated with the QIAcube® instrument
  • No centrifugation required
  • No beta-mercaptoethanol (BME) required for sample preparation
  • No need to purchase extra items-all consumables included in the kit
  • Color coded reagent for DNase addition make it easy to find the correct well

Reliable Performance

  • Minimize variability from person to person with automation
  • Achieve improved RNA purity and consistent
  • Purify RNA for RT-PCR from low cell number and difficult tissues
  • Avoid repeat purifications and failed experiments
  • Keep RNA intact and contamination-free with minimal sample handling
  • Extract RNA from fresh or frozen cells
  • Automated particle processing eliminates liquid handling instrument clogging and drips

Intact RNA Extracted from Tissue Using the Maxwell® 16 LEV simplyRNA Tissue Kit

Figure 1. Extracted tissue samples were run on a FlashGel® System for 5 minutes and signal developed for 15 minutes. The 28S, 18S and 5S are clearly visible indicating intact RNA.
