General description
Homogenization or lysis of the tissue sample in TRI reagent® dissolves RNA, DNA and protein. The addition of chloroform or 1-bromo-3-chloropropane followed by centrifugation results in the separation of the mixture into three phases: an aqueous phase containing the RNA, the interphase containing DNA, and an organic phase containing proteins. Each of the components can then be isolated after separating the phases.
Application
- in the isolation of total RNA from various tissue samples and cells
- for the lysis of monocytes
- to isolate cytoplasmic RNA from SARS-CoV infected Vero cells
- to isolate total RNA from MDMs (monocyte-derived macrophages) infected with influenza A (H5N1) virus
- to prepare a viral lysate of SARS-CoV culture for the creation of a clone encoding the S glycoprotein in the development of SARS-CoV vaccine
The RNA, DNA and protein that are isolated using TRI reagent® can further be used for downstream applications, such as cloning, PCR, RT-PCR, Northern blots, mRNA isolation, in vitro translation, RNase protection assay, restriction enzyme digestion, Southern blots, SDS-PAGE and western blots.
Features and Benefits
Multi-purpose: TRI Reagent® performs well with large or small amounts of tissue or cells and works with many samples including human, plant, yeast, bacterial and viral samples.
Efficient: TRI reagent® gives better yields than traditional guanidine thiocyanate/cesium chloride methods. The whole process of RNA extraction starting with fresh tissue or cells can be completed in less than one hour.
- Easily scalable RNA isolation
- Works with many sources: human, plant, yeast, bacterial, or viral
- Better yields than traditional guanidine thiocyanate/cesium chloride methods

Articles
The availability of simple methods for purification of DNA and RNA has greatly facilitated the analysis and characterization of the genome and gene expression. There is a demand to isolate DNA and RNA rapidly and conveniently from a variety of cellular sources, including cells and tissues from mammalian, plant and bacterial cultures.
Protocols
Cultrex™ 3-D Culture Cell Harvesting Kit provides an optimized and standardized solution for the isolation and normalization of cell lysates from 3-D Culture Matrix™ BME or Laminin I for subsequent biochemical analysis.
TRI Reagent is a single-step RNA isolation reagent that allows simultaneous isolation of DNA, RNA and protein. This protocol outlines sample prep as well as extraction of the various samples and troubleshooting.
