Hello Fortunato

I advise yout the mirVana kit isolation, a part to isolate miRNAs. Its performance to isolate mRNA is very good, easy and in short time.

Regards

Priyanka Chaurasia

Hello Dear,

i advise you Qiagen kit for RNA isolation is best and its easy to isolate and short time process.

Somprakash Dhangar

Hi Priyanka,

As i understood Qiagen is good for total RNa extraction.Is any other better kit available for mRNA extraction from Qiagen whose experience you have?
