RNA Extraction From FFPE Samples - RNAstorm™

Benefits Of Using RNAstorm™
• Designed for use with formalin-fixed samples (paraffin embedded or in fixative)
• Up to 1.5 µg RNA isolated
• 50 minutes hands-on time
• All necessary reagents provided in spin-column format
• Total RNA (including miRNA) isolated
• CAT5™ technology enhances the removal of formaldehyde-induced damage
• Better template quality for reverse transcription & other enzymatic manipulation
Higher Yields of Amplifiable RNA
Significant improvements in RNA yield and quality (as measured by amount of amplifiable RNA) are seen using a prototype of the RNAstorm™ kit on FFPE samples from various tissues and ranging in age from 1976 to 2015.

Higher Integrity RNA
Increased RNA integrity is observed for RNA extracted using the RNAstorm™ kit. An exemplary comparison with a popular commercial kit is shown below (Agilent Bioanalyzer RNA 6000 nano)

Increases in DV200 (the percentage of RNA with length > 200 nt) were seen for a variety of tissue samples.
