ZR Urine RNA Isolation Kit™?is an innovative product designed for the easy, reliable and rapid isolation of total RNA from cells in urine samples.? The product enables isolation of cells from urine using a syringe (not provided) and a uniquely-designed syringe filter.? Following separation, cells are lysed and total RNA stabilized using a specially formulated?Urine RNA Buffer.? The collected lysate can then be used immediately or at a later time following transportation and/or storage.? Also, the Urine RNA Buffer is ideal for direct isolation of RNA from microvesicles that may be recovered from urine filtrates.?

One-step RNA isolation occurs via matrix adsorption using?Zymo-Spin™?IC Columns.? The RNA isolation procedure is simple and can be performed in less than 5 minutes.? Use of the ZR Urine RNA Isolation Kit™ results in the isolation of high-quality, total RNA from urine samples that is suitable for subsequent analyses of gene expression that include RT-PCR.
