Description

Carrier RNA is primarily utilized for the extraction of RNA from small samples, particularly virus samples, aiming to enhance the efficiency of RNA recovery.

Our carrier RNA is compatible with the majority of virus RNA extraction kits. On one hand, it improves the binding and elution efficiency of minute quantities of viral RNA during the purification process involving purification columns. On the other hand, it reduces the likelihood of degradation caused by potential residual RNases. The impact of Carrier RNA is more pronounced when the viral content is low. Additionally, commonly used EP tubes are composed of polypropylene, which possesses electrostatic properties capable of adsorbing nucleic acids. During RNA extraction, Carrier RNA is directly added to the lysis solution. Carrier RNA effectively binds to the purification column, eliminating the electrostatic effects and enhancing elution efficiency.

Our Carrier RNA used in this context is non-viral RNA, thereby not interfering with the subsequent detection of viral RNA.

The concentration of this Carrier RNA is 1 µg/µl.

Storage

The minimum shelf life is 1 year at -20°C and 2 years at -80°C.

Note

• This product should be avoided from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. It is recommended to aliquot appropriately upon initial use and store in a sealed manner at -20°C or lower temperatures.
• Handle with care and avoid contamination. Please use RNase-free tips and EP tubes. It is recommended to wear a disposable mask while performing the procedure.
• For samples with a low quantity or when extracting viral RNA, it is advisable to use Carrier RNA. If a larger amount of RNA is expected, the addition of Carrier RNA can be chosen according to the needs.
• Due to the presence of Carrier RNA, the concentration of viral RNA may be inaccurate. It is recommended to use qRT-PCR for quantification.
• This product is intended for scientific research purposes by professionals only and should not be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment. It should not be used for food or drugs, and should not be stored in residential areas.
• For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves while handling.
