Thermo Scientific™ GeneJET Stabilized and Fresh Whole Blood RNA Kit
Description
The GeneJET™ Stabilized and Fresh Whole Blood RNA Kit is designed for rapid and efficient purification of high quality total RNA from various whole blood samples: fresh, frozen, or human blood samples stabilized with commercial stabilizers such as Tempus™ and PAXgene™.
The kit utilizes silica-based membrane technology in the form of a convenient spin column, eliminating the need for expensive resins, toxic phenol-chloroform extractions, or time-consuming alcohol precipitation. The kit includes a DNase l for the enzymatic removal of genomic DNA. RNA can be isolated from whole blood in less than 30 minutes (including cell lysis and DNase l treatment).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We would highly recommend using the provided Elution Buffer in the elution step for best results. You may use nuclease-free water; however, it may affect the yield of the nucleic acids during purification and their stability during storage.
We cannot recommend GeneJET kits for RNA purification from FFPE tissues. In case of genomic DNA purififcation from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples, we recommend GeneJET FFPE DNA Purification Kit.
Yes, the kits are compatible with animal blood for DNA/RNA purification.
The GeneJET spin columns are compatible with vacuum manifolds of standard size (e.g. Qiagen, Sigma-Aldrich, Promega). However, not all GeneJET kits are supported with a vacuum protocol. Please refer to the particular kit protocol for the detailed procedure.
We recommend performing centrifugation steps at room temperature when the temperature is not specified.
