Storage Instructions:
As long as proteinase K solution is not opened, it is stable at room temperature. Once it has been opened, it needs to be kept at -20 °C. Other components of the kit can be kept at room temperature (15 to 25°C).

Please remember to properly close the bag containing SciPhiTM RNA Purification Columns after each use.

Principle:
Digestion/Lysis: Depending on the initial material, the samples are subjected to Lysis Buffer. The lysis buffer contains guanidine thiocyanate which is capable to protect RNA from RNases.

Binding and Purification: The lysate (resulting mixture) is then mixed with ethanol and loaded onto a purification column. In this step, the RNA molecules present in the lysate attach to the silica membrane within the column, while impurities are effectively washed away using prepared wash buffers.

Elution: Total RNA is then can be eluted from the purification column under low ionic strength conditions using an Elution Buffer. This allows the RNA to be collected in a separate solution for further analysis or use.
