Reproducible purification of total RNA
Yields of purified RNA correlate accurately to cell numbers and enable reproducible results in downstream applications, such as real-time RT-PCR and microarray analysis
The BioRobot EZ1 system is said to combine unparalleled ease-of-use with automated purification of total RNA from one to six samples of up to 1x106 cultured cells or 2x106 pretreated white blood cells in approximately 55 minutes Yields of purified RNA correlate accurately to cell numbers and enable reproducible results in downstream applications, such as real-time RT-PCR and microarray analysis
