The RNeasy DSP FFPE Kit is specially designed for purifying total RNA from FFPE tissue sections. The Deparaffinization Solution removes paraffin from the tissue sample. Special lysis and incubation conditions reverse formaldehyde modifications of RNA. In addition, the lysis buffer ensures efficient release of total RNA from tissue sections, while avoiding further RNA degradation. The kit also uses DNase and DNase Booster Buffer to optimally remove genomic DNA contamination. RNeasy MinElute columns, also included within the kit, enable total RNA elution in as little as 14 μl.
