Poly(A)+ RNA extraction is a crucial step in many downstream applications, such as qRT-PCR, RNA sequencing, and microarray analysis. However, traditional methods for RNA isolation, such as phenol-chloroform extraction, can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and hazardous to human health due to the use of organic solvents. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rapid and efficient method for poly(A)+ RNA extraction that ensures the isolation of intact mRNA molecules.
The BcMag™ Quick mRNA Purification Kit is a novel tool designed to extract intact poly(A)+ RNA from cells and tissue samples. Unlike other methods that use chemical solvents like phenol, this kit uses Oligo-d(T)25 attached to 1µm paramagnetic beads to bind the poly(A)+ RNA directly. This makes it possible to manually process multiple samples or adapt the process for high-throughput automated applications. The use of magnetic separation technology allows for the elution of intact mRNA in small amounts, which means that the poly(A)+ transcripts do not need to precipitate in the eluent. In less than an hour, this method can produce intact poly(A)+ RNA that is fully representative of the original sample’s mRNA population.
Workflow: Simplified and User-Friendly
The purification with magnetic beads is a straightforward and user-friendly process. First, mix the beads with the cell lysates and incubate them with continuous rotation for a sufficient time. The beads remain suspended in the sample solution during mixing, allowing the mRNA to bind to oligo-dT magnetic beads. Ribosomal RNA and tiny RNA molecules (transfer RNA, microRNA, small nucleolar RNA, and small cytoplasmic RNA) do not adhere to the beads and are eliminated. After incubation, only polyadenylated RNA species (mRNA) are collected and separated from the sample using a magnet rack. Then the ultrapure mRNAs are eluted and used in downstream applications.
