The extraction method inactivates viruses and other infectious agents. Total RNA (including small/microRNAs) are effectively isolated from a variety of sample sources (cells, tissues, biological liquids, DNA/RNA Shield™ samples, etc.). The procedure is easy: simply add ethanol and MagBinding Beads to a sample in TRIzol/TRI Reagent, wash and elute the RNA. No chloroform, phase separation or precipitation steps are necessary. High-quality total RNA is ready for Next-Gen sequencing, RT-qPCR, transcription profiling, hybridization, etc
