Fatty Tissue RNA Purification Kit
For purification of total RNA (including microRNA) from animal tissues with high lipid content
Overview
- Isolate high quality total RNA from hard to extract fatty tissues
- Isolate total RNA, including microRNA (miRNA)
- No phenol or chloroform extractions
- Fast and easy processing using rapid spin-column format
- Genomic DNA removal without the use of nucleases
- Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
This kit was deigned to extract high quality and yield from fatty tissues like brain, breast, adipose tissues, etc. Often tissues that have high fat contents like brain, breast tissues, etc., can lead to low quality and yield RNA with no-optimized kit.
This kit provides a rapid and optimized method for the isolation and purification of total RNA from animal tissues with high lipid content, including brain and adipose tissues. The kit purifies all sizes of RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) without the use of inhibitory phenol or chloroform. While the kit is optimized for fatty tissues, it can also be used for most mammalian tissue samples.
The purified RNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including RT-qPCR, microarrays, NGS.

Supporting Data
Figure 1. Isolation of High Quality Brain Total RNA including microRNA without the use of Phenol. Norgen's Fatty Tissue RNA Purification Kit isolates high quality total RNA from fatty tissues such as brain without the use of phenol. Total RNA was isolated from equal amounts of brain tissue using Norgen’s Fatty Tissue RNA Purification Kit and a leading competitor’s kit that involves a phenol:chloroform extraction step. The purified RNA was then resolved on a 1.2% formaldehyde-agarose gel. As it can be seen, Norgen not only isolated high and consistent yields of total RNA, but the RNA was also of high quality as evidenced by intactness of the major 28S and 18S rRNA. Importantly, only Norgen's Fatty Tissue RNA Purification Kit was able to recover the small RNA fraction, including the microRNA (red-boxed).
Figure 2. High Yield of a Diversity of RNA Species. Norgen's Fatty Tissue RNA Purification Kit effectively recovers all sizes of RNA from large mRNA to small RNA, including microRNAs. Total RNA was isolated from equal amounts of brain tissue using Norgen's Fatty Tissue RNA Purification Kit and a leading competitor’s kit that involves a phenol:chloroform extraction step. The purified RNA was then used as the template in a RT-qPCR for detecting the beta-Actin gene (Top Panel) and for detecting miR-21 (Bottom Panel). In both graphs the blue lines correspond to Norgen isolated-RNA and the red lines correspond to competitor-isolated RNA. As it can be seen, Norgen's kit isolated higher yields of microRNA, as indicated by the lower Ct values of the blue lines (Top Panel). Also, Norgen's kit successfully isolated similar amount of large RNA to that of the competitor's kit (Bottom Panel) indicating the full diversity of RNA species isolated.
