For 96-well purification of total RNA from cells
  • High-throughput RNA purification
  • Fast and convenient sample processing
  • Reproducible yields from 10 to 500,000 cells
  • High-quality RNA for any application
  • No organic extraction or precipitation

The RNeasy 96 Kit provides high-throughput purification of total RNA from up to 96 cultured-cell samples using silica-membrane RNeasy 96 plates. Manual purification is carried out using the QIAGEN 96-Well-Plate Centrifugation System and/or the QIAvac 96 vacuum manifold. Automated purification using the related RNeasy 96 BioRobot 8000 Kit is performed on the BioRobot Universal System, which processes up to 96 or 192 samples per run followed by real-time RT-PCR setup.
For optimal results it is recommended to use this product together with QIAvac 96.

RNA was isolated from 1 to 1 x 105 HeLa S3 cells using the RNeasy 96 BioRobot 8000 procedure. Total RNA was eluted in 100 µl RNase-free water, and 5 µl was used for RT-PCR. Quantitative, real-time one-step RT-PCR analysis was carried out on an ABI Sequence Detection System using the QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit with primers and probe specific for the low-copy c-fos transcript.

Performance
The RNeasy 96 system provides fast and reproducible total RNA purification for high-throughput gene expression profiling. The RNA is suitable for sensitive applications such as quantitative, real-time RT-PCR and microarray analysis (see figure "High-quality RNA for sensitive analysis of a low-copy transcript"). Sample sizes range from 10 to 5 x 105 cells (see figure "RT-PCR of RNA from as few as 100 cells"), and high-quality RNA can be purified from large numbers of samples (see figure "Reproducible yields of high-quality RNA"). Individual variations are low throughout the entire purification process; TaqMan® threshold-cycle values are easily achieved at the end of the process with a coefficient of variation (CV) less than 3% using the QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit (see figure "Repeatability of fully automated RNA purification").
Principle

The RNeasy 96 system provides a standardized, fast, reliable method for isolation of high-quality RNA from large numbers of samples (see table). The simple procedure is the key to the speed and efficiency of RNeasy 96 technology. Cells can be grown and directly lysed in 96-well cell-culture dishes. After transfer of the lysates to the wells of the RNeasy 96 plate (see figure "RNeasy 96-well plate"), RNA binds to the silica membrane in each well, and contaminants are washed away. Pure RNA is then eluted in RNase-free water into individual collection tubes suitable for long-term storage and is ready to use for any experiment. Since the RNeasy procedure enriches for RNA species >200 nt, RNA yield does not include 5S rRNA, tRNAs, or other low-molecular-weight RNAs.

Procedure

The key to the speed and efficiency of RNeasy 96 technology is the simple procedure. Cells can be grown and directly lysed in 96-well cell-culture dishes. After transfer of the lysates to the wells of the RNeasy 96 plate (see figure "RNeasy 96-well plate"), RNA binds to the silica membrane in each well, and contaminants are washed away. Pure RNA is then eluted in RNase-free water into individual collection tubes suitable for long-term storage and is ready to use for any experiment. The RNeasy 96 Kit includes protocols for total RNA isolation, cytoplasmic RNA isolation, and RNA cleanup. RNeasy 96 plates can be processed on the QIAvac 96 vacuum manifold and/or the 96-Well-Plate Centrifuge System.

RNA isolation can also be automated on the BioRobot 9604 workstation using the RNeasy 96 BioRobot 9604 Kit. Fully automated RNA isolation is possible on the BioRobot 8000 workstation or BioRobot Universal System using the RNeasy 96 BioRobot 8000 Kit.

One milliliter of milk contains approximately 50,000-200,000 leukocytes (with an average of approximately 100,000 leukocytes). In a BVDV-infected animal up to 1-30% of the leukocytes may be infected with the virus. Each infected leukocyte typically contains 10-10,000 BVDV entities.
