The MasterPure™ Yeast RNA Purification Kit (Epicentre, Madison, WI)provides all of the reagents needed to purify RNA from cell types including: Candida, Saccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, and filamentous fungi. The kit utilizes a rapid desalting process to remove contaminating macromolecules, avoiding toxic organic solvents, bead-beating, and spheroplasting.

Applications:Obtain RNA suitable for cDNA synthesis and microarray gene expression analysis

Benefits:

- Avoid hot acid phenol
- Faster than spheroplasting
- Higher quality than bead-beating
- No extra enzyme or equipment to purchase
- Yields 25-50 ug RNA from 1 ml of mid log S. cerevisiae
