PRO Homogenizers are Ideal for RNA / DNA Isolation
23 Mar 2015Sample disruption is a necessary early step in the isolation of RNA, DNA, and proteins. In this application note, PRO Scientific rotor stator homogenizers are used to disrupt samples of cells or tissues to isolate RNA while preventing both RNA loss and RNA degradation.

DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
