PRImeZOL™ Reagent

High-performance phenol–guanidine reagent for fast and reliable extraction of RNA, DNA & proteins from diverse biological samples

PrimeZOL™ Reagent is a ready-to-use monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate, specifically formulated for the rapid isolation of high-quality RNA, DNA and proteins from a wide range of biological samples.

Its optimized formulation ensures superior yield and integrity compared to conventional phenol–chloroform extraction methods, while maintaining excellent reproducibility across different sample types, including whole blood, buffy coat, animal tissues, cultured cells, bacteria, yeast, and plant samples.

The strong chaotropic properties of guanidinium thiocyanate ensure rapid denaturation of proteins and immediate inactivation of RNases during homogenization. This preserves RNA integrity while efficiently disrupting cells and dissolving cellular components.

This reagent is the ideal choice for researchers seeking a cost-effective, versatile, and reliable solution for downstream molecular biology applications such as qPCR, RT-PCR, sequencing, and genotyping.

Tables & Figures

Quality Control

Each batch is tested for:

    • RNA yield & integrity using total RNA extraction from cultured cells.

    • Absence of RNase/DNase contamination.

    • Consistency in phase separation and recovery.

Advice

  • Always work under RNase-free conditions.

  • Use appropriate safety equipment when handling phenol-based reagents.

  • For best performance, process fresh or properly preserved samples.

  • For complete removal of residual genomic DNA, optional DNase treatment after RNA isolation is recommended for highly sensitive applications.
