NucleoSpin® RNA XS	Total RNA from cells and tissue
5 µl elution volume ® highly concentrated RNA
Features
Purification of highly concentrated RNA from smallest samples
• Isolation of RNA from low amount of sample material like biopsy material    or single cells • Elution in only 5 µl resulting in concentrated RNA for sensitive downstream    applications • rDNase included for optional on-column DNA removal • NucleoSpin Filters (Shredders) included ® efficient homogenization and reduction of viscosity • High quality RNA, ready-to-use for RT-PCR and other applications
