From Paraffin Sample to RT-ready RNA in 2 hours with Maximized Yield
WaxFree™ RNA is designed to extract RNA from both formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples and fresh and frozen tissue. The straightforward protocol employs a non-binding method to efficiently extract RNA. WaxFree minimizes the RNA loss typically observed in traditional column or bead methods so it is particularly useful for old or small samples. In addition, most extractions are completed in approximately two hours without the use of toxic Xylene.
