The Solar.® HP Total RNA Isolation Kit provides a rapid and easy method for RNA isolation from a small amount of cultured eukaryotic cells or tissues. This kit allows single or simultaneous processing of multiple samples in less than 40 minutes. Normally, 1 x 10^7 eukaryotic cells or 25-30 mg tissue can be used in a single experiment. There is no need for phenol/chloroform extractions, time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation, or precipitation with isopropanol or LiCl. RNA purified using the   Solar.® HP Total RNA Isolation Kit  method is ready for applications such as RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification,nuclease protection, and in vitro translation
