We are interested in separating both DNA and RNA from some precious frozen tissue. We have standardized the procedure of DNA separation with GenElute™ Mammalian Genomic DNA Miniprep Kit from SIGMA (code G1N10). I was wondering if we may also try to recover RNA from the liquid we usually discard (of course avoiding RNAse step) or if we are forced to change our SOP and move to specific kit? Thanks.
I don't if it will work, but you can try to use Amicon® Ultra. It's used for purification and concentration of DNA/RNA /proteins so if you separate DNA before, it's probable that that might work.
I doubt it will work. The binding to spin filter membranes in chaotropic salts is non specific for DNA and RNA - both will bind which is often why you have to add an RNAse step
You can use TriReagent (sigma) and back extract the DNA from the interface.
