1 mL
Size of RNA Purified All sizes, including miRNA
and small RNA (< 200 nt)
Elution Volume 50 - 100 µL
Time to Complete 10 Purifications
35 - 40 minutes
Average Yields* Variable depending on specimen

*Please check page 5 of the product insert for the average yields and the common RNA quantification methods

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.

Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.

Plasma/Serum Exosome and Free-Circulating RNA Isolation Kits

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to sequentially isolate and concentrate exosomal RNA as well as Free-Circulating RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA as well as all sizes of the free-circulating protein-bound RNA, including microRNA. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, these kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. Moreover, the free-circulating, protein-bound, RNA is free from any exosomal RNA. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Plasma/Serum Exosome and Free-Circulating RNA Isolation Mini Kit

For sample volumes ranging from 50 µL to 1 mL.

Plasma/Serum Exosome and Free-Circulating RNA Isolation Midi Kit

For sample volumes ranging from 1 mL to 4 mL.

Plasma/Serum Exosome and Free-Circulating RNA Isolation Maxi Kit

For sample volumes ranging from 4 mL to 10 mL.
