High-Throughput Automated Extraction of RNA Using the Aurum™ Total RNA 96 Kit

9 Dec 2014

RNA extractions for use in qPCR assays are labor-intensive, time-consuming procedures that are now amenable to automation. This raises the question of whether commercially available RNA extraction kits that have been designed for low- to medium-throughput extractions using centrifugation or filtration-based methods can be used in automated high-throughput procedures. This study evaluates the use of the Aurum total RNA 96 kit in a fully automated RNA extraction process.
