Best practices for RNA & DNA research with Precellys
Simplified RNA/DNA extraction for better results
RNA and DNA are essential for cellular functions, acting as the genetic blueprint and messenger. However, extracting these molecules can be difficult due to RNA degradation and DNA contamination. Optimized homogenization is key to overcoming these challenges!
This new white paper presents five specialized protocols for improving RNA and DNA yield and purity in animal and human samples using Precellys homogenizers.
Optimized homogenization protocols for animal & human samples
-
1. DNA extraction from frozen tumor samples.
- 2. RNA extraction from normal dog skin biopsies.
- 3. Micro RNA total purification from liver tissue.
- 4. RNA extraction from human skin biopsies.
- 5. Total RNA extraction from mouse kidney before RNA sequencing.
