Literature # TM459
The Maxwell® RSC Plant RNA Kit is designed for automated isolation of total RNA from plant tissue samples using the Maxwell® RSC and Maxwell® RSC 48 Instruments. The RNA purification procedure is a simple method with minimal lysate handling before automated purification. The low elution volume is used to generate concentrated high-quality RNA suitable for use in downstream applications such as quantitative RT-PCR. The kit provides the reagents required for processing the samples and uses prefilled cartridges for purification, maximizing simplicity and convenience. The Maxwell® RSC Instrument can process up to 16 samples, and the Maxwell® RSC 48 Instrument can process up to 48 samples, both in approximately 50 minutes.
