Can I use the EZ2 AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE kit to extract DNA/RNA from fresh frozen tissue?

Unfortunately, the EZ2 AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit cannot be used for fresh-frozen tissue as its chemistry relies on formalin-fixed tissue. However, there is an option for isolation of total nucleic acids using the EZ1&2 RNA Tissue Mini Kit; https://www.qiagen.com/de/products/discovery-and-translational-research/dna-rna-purification/rna-purification/total-rna/ez1and2-rna-tissue-mini-kit/ on the EZ2. In this case, both RNA and DNA would end up in the same elution tube. The protocol is available on our webpage https://www.qiagen.com/de/resources/resourcedetail?id=657cc5b3-6e8e-4e48-b730-ff1204c3320b&lang=en. If you would need to have RNA and DNA in separate tubes, the only solution would be to use two different kits, the RNA and the DNA Tissue kit. The limitation here is of course that RNA and DNA would not be extracted out of the exact same piece of tissue but would require splitting up the sample and performing two separated runs on the instrument.
