This system includes both TRIzol™ Reagent and Invitrogen™ Phasemaker™ Tubes.
TRIzol Reagent is a complete, ready-to-use reagent for the isolation of high-quality total RNA from a variety of biological samples. It offers superior lysis capability, even with difficult sample types.
Phasemaker Tubes contain a thick liquid polymer that separates and completely isolates the upper aqueous phase of the TRIzol Reagent mix from the organic phase underneath, greatly simplifying removal of the upper phase containing the RNA. This TRIzol Reagent and Phasemaker Tubes Complete System is for the extraction of RNA, not DNA or protein. It will accommodate 50–100 mg of tissue. For cultured cells, please refer to the manual for information on sample size.
