RNA Isolation from 3D InSight™ Microtissues in GravityTRAP™ Using the Promega Maxwell® 16 System

InSphero
21 Apr 2015

Isolation of high quality total RNA from cultured cells is important for various analyses in cell-based drug discovery and toxicology. Analytical applications such as quantitative real time PCR or microarray analysis depend on robust RNA isolation procedures. This application note describes a protocol to isolate total RNA from as little as 1 3D InSight™ Human Liver microtissue (approx. 1000 cells) using a commercially available, semi-automated RNA extraction robot from Promega.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
