Product Name
Urine Exosome and Free-Circulating RNA Isolation Mini Kit
Description
This kit provides a fast, reliable and convenient method to sequentially isolate and concentrate exosomal RNA as well as Free-Circulating RNA from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 µL to 1 mL. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias.
Time to Complete 10 Purifications
35-40 minutes
Notes
Urine samples stored at -70°C, -20°C, or at 4°C will develop some precipitation due to the aggregation of some of the highly abundant proteins in urine. Eliminating these precipitates using centrifugation or filtration may cause the loss of exosomes. Furthermore, these precipitates may affect the quality of the purified nucleic acid. We recommend the use of urine preservative when collecting urine samples, which is designed for the preservation of nucleic acids and proteins in fresh urine samples at ambient temperatures. The components of the Urine Preservative allow samples to be stored for over 2 years at room temperature with no detected degradation of urine DNA, RNA, or proteins.
Storage
All buffers should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
