The RNeasy Maxi Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from cells, tissues, and yeast using silica-membrane RNeasy spin columns with a binding capacity of 6 mg RNA. Tissue samples can be conveniently stabilized using RNAlater RNA Stabilization Reagent or Allprotect Tissue Reagent, and efficiently disrupted using a TissueRuptor or TissueLyser system. For smaller samples, the RNeasy Micro Kit (spin-column binding capacity of up to 45 µg RNA), the RNeasy Mini Kit (spin-column binding capacity of 100 µg RNA), and RNeasy Midi Kit (spin-column binding capacity of 1 mg RNA) are also available.
