Simultaneous, high-yield extraction of DNA and RNA from FFPE tissue
29 Apr 2021Simultaneous extraction and purification of both RNA and DNA from FFPE tissue samples is critical to enable multiple downstream analyses from rare or limited samples. To avoid yield loss, most technologies use a serial isolation approach where DNA and RNA are separated after lysis by filtration or precipitation before entering separate purification workflows. This results in twice the number of purification steps per sample. With simultaneous extraction and purification of RNA and DNA from FFPE tissue samples without yield loss, the Ionic® FFPE Complete Purification Kit for the Ionic® Purification System offers a significant savings on total workflow time and reduces hands-on time by more than 75%.

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.
