MasterPure™ Yeast RNA Purification Kit
Poster from RNA Society (714k)
Applications
- Purification of RNA from yeast and filamentous fungi suitable for cDNA synthesis and microarray gene expression analysis (Figs. 1 and 2).
The MasterPure™ Yeast RNA Purification Kit provides all of the reagents needed to purify RNA from yeast cell types (including Candida, Saccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces) and filamentous fungi. The kit uses a rapid salting-out process1 to remove contaminating macromolecules, avoiding toxic organic solvents, bead-beating, and spheroplasting.2
Benefits
- Avoids hot acid phenol.
- Faster than spheroplasting.
- Higher quality RNA than bead-beating.
- No extra enzymes or equipment to purchase.
- Yields 25-50 µg RNA from 1 ml of mid-log S.cerevisiae.

Figure 1. Microarray analysis of yeast RNA purified with the MasterPure™ Yeast RNA Purification Kit. The RNA was reverse transcribed, labeled, and hybridized to a S. cerevisiae DNA microarray. The cDNA from cells under oxidative stress was labeled with Cy5, and cDNA from control cells was labeled with Cy3. | Figure 2. Purity of RNA obtained using the MasterPure™ Yeast RNA Purification Kit. The RNA used in Fig. 1. was stored at -20° C for two months before analysis on an Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer®. The electrophoretogram demonstrates the high-purity, intact RNA. |
