TRIzol® Reagents are ready-to-use, monophasic solutions of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate suitable for isolating total RNA, DNA, and proteins (1-6). Isolation procedures are based upon improvements to the single-step RNA isolation method developed by Chomczynski and Sacchi (1) and are completed in less than one hour.TRIzol® Reagent:

    * Is designed for use with tissues or cells

    * Uses 1 ml of reagent to isolate total RNA from 100 mg of tissue or 107 cells

TRIzol® LS Reagent:

    * Is designed for use with liquid samples such as serum and virus preparations

    * Uses a TRIzol® LS Reagent:liquid sample ratio of 3:1

    * Uses 0.75 ml to isolate total RNA from 5 x 106 cells

TRIzol® Max™ Bacterial RNA Isolation Kit:

    * Is designed for use with bacterial samples

    * Increases total RNA yields from bacteria by 3 times

    * Works with Gram+ and Gram- bacteria

    * Includes Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent to eliminate mechanical and enzymatic lysis procedures

    * Isolates total RNA in minimal time-Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent procedure adds only 5 minutes to the TRIzol® Reagent procedure

    * Uses 0.2 ml of Max Bacterial Enhancement Reagent and 1.0 ml of TRIzol® Reagent to isolate total RNA from 108 bacterial cells

Performance and Quality Testing: RNA and DNA are isolated and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed in gel electrophoresis. RNA is analyzed by northern blot analysis. DNA is tested in restriction endonuclease digestion.
