NucleoMag RNA Blood for RNA Isolation from blood
*taxes and shipping not included
The NucleoMag RNA Blood Kit is intended for the purification of RNA from whole blood samples collected in EDTA / Citrate blood collection tubes or in SARSTEDT® S-Monovette RNA Exact, Zymo DNA/RNA Shield™ Blood Tubes, or Tempus™ RNA Blood Tubes. With a focus on simplicity and efficiency, this kit eliminates the need for reagent removal and pelleting*, ensuring smooth processing. The purified RNA obtained from this kit is suitable for a range of downstream applications including RT-PCR and sequencing. The kit can be used either manually or automated on standard liquid handling instruments or automated magnetic separators. Included in the kit are essential components such as NucleoMag B-Beads, Buffers, Liquid Proteinase K, and RNase-free rDNase, ensuring reliable and high-quality RNA extraction. Note: Blood collection and stabilization tubes are not provided and must be purchased separately. *Processing of EDTA / Citrate or Tempus RNA Blood Tubes necessitates additional equipment and buffers as detailed in the user manual for comprehensive guidance.

Comparative analysis of RNA yield and purity from SARSTEDT S-Monovette® RNA Exact and Zymo DNA/RNA Shield™ Blood Tubes
Blood specimens sourced from two distinct donors were collected using SARSTEDT S-Monovette® RNA Exact or Zymo DNA/RNA Shield™ Blood Tubes, followed by purification employing the NucleoMag RNA Blood Kit via automated protocols on the MagnetaPure 32 Plus or KingFisher® Duo platform (n=3 per tube and instrument). Purified RNA underwent UV spectrometry analysis to assess total yield (blue bars) and purity (A260/280, orange dots). The data underscore remarkable reproducibility in RNA yield and purity across different donors, blood collection tubes, and automation platforms.
Application data
Robust RNA integrity profiles in S-Monovette® RNA Exact-collected samples
Blood specimens were procured from two distinct donors utilizing SARSTEDT S-Monovette® RNA Exact tubes and subjected to purification employing the NucleoMag RNA Blood kit via the automated MagnetaPure 32 Plus magnetic-rod extractor. Processing occurred subsequent to storage at room temperature for 2 hours (T0), 5 days (D5), or following two weeks of refrigeration at 2–8°C. Analysis conducted utilizing the Agilent Pico-Chip revealed excellent RNA integrity (8.0 ± 0.19) persisting across all examined time points and donors (n=3 for each donor and time point).
