Nathanael Pruett

I first started using the Direct-zol kit when it was first offered and have found it to yield excellent RNA (including miRNA). The on-column DNase treatment is incredibly convenient, and this kit really is fast. I typically get a yield of ~10µg of total RNA from 2 million cultured cells.

Umberto Palatini

THank you very much Nathanael! It is what i hoped to hear, I will try the kit then.
