Qubit rna high sensitivity kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Qubit RNA High Sensitivity kit is a fluorometric-based assay designed to accurately quantify low concentrations of RNA. The kit uses a fluorescent dye that binds specifically to RNA, allowing for precise measurement of RNA content in a sample. The assay is sensitive and requires only a small sample volume, making it suitable for analyzing limited RNA samples.

Material stored in RNAlater (ThermoFisher Scientific) was thawed on ice, diluted with 0.7 mL nuclease-free PBS and pelleted by centrifugation at 6 k × g for 5 min at 4°C. RNA was extracted from the resulting pellet using TRIzol (ThermoFisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNase-free glycogen (10 μg) was used as a carrier during the precipitation phase to improve RNA yield.

RNA was isolated using Trizol LS (TRI) reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA, cat. #: 10296028) according to the manufacturer’s instructions with minor adjustments. In brief, 100 µL SP and 300 µL TRI Reagent® were mixed and incubated for 5 min. Then, 80 µL chloroform was added, mixed, and incubated for 2–3 min. The sample was centrifuged at 12,000× g at 4 °C for 15 min. The upper colorless phase was transferred to a new tube where 200 µL isopropanol was added, mixed, and incubated for 10 min. The sample was then centrifuged at 12,000× g at 4 °C for 10 min and the supernatant removed. The pellet was washed with 400 µL 75% ethanol, vortexed and centrifuged at 7500× g at 4 °C for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the sample was vacuum-dried. The RNA pellet was resuspended in 20 µL RNase-free water, incubated on a heat block at 58 °C for 15 min and stored at −80 °C.
The quality of the isolated RNA was checked with the Agilent small RNA Bioanalyzer kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions and RNA content was evaluated with the Qubit® RNA High Sensitivity kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) using 2–5 µL sample.

Urinary RNA Extraction and Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
First‐morning urine samples were processed within 2 to 4 hours of receipt to preserve RNA. Fresh urine was aliquoted to 1 or 2 50‐mL centrifuge tubes, centrifuged at 1000g, for 10 minutes at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was washed with 10‐mL ice‐cold PBS and centrifuged at 1000g for 10 minutes at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded, and the cell pellet was resuspended in 1‐mL cold PBS and transferred to a 1.5‐mL Eppendorf tube and centrifuged at 1000g for 10 minutes at 4 °C. The supernatant was removed, and the cell was lysed with 350‐μL RLT Buffer with β‐ME from a Qiagen RNA extraction kit (74104). The pellet was broken by pipetting up and down and later centrifuged at 16000g for 5 minutes at 4 °C. We then followed the Qiagen RNA extraction kit protocol to store RNA for measurement or library preparation. Qubit RNA High Sensitivity kit (Thermo Fisher Q32852) was used to quantify RNA. The minimum amount of RNA required to generate a library was 5 ng. The low centrifugation speed ensured that the exosomes remained in the solution and were therefore excluded from analysis. Full‐coverage transcriptomes were obtained by RNAseq using an Ion Torrent Gene Studio Platform (Thermo Fisher) with quantifications of 16 000 to 19 000 mRNA transcripts per sample. Data were normalized before statistical analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
