Quick-RNA ™ Microprep by Zymo Research

"This product takes very little time to extract RNA. It has concise steps, with clear instructions to follow. The only thing I have to complain about is the spin columns not attaching directly to the collection tube. The spin columns become easily separated and may become contaminated."

"Great to work with Zymo."

"Zymo kits are the best! I get the most RNA yield from any kit on the market, and the customer support team is extremely helpful in selecting the kit most appropriate for your research application."

"Zymo Micro RNA kit is helpful in getting small amounts of RNA from rare immune cells. This kit is easy to use and all steps are very well defined. We always get reproducible results."

"This product is easy to use and the quality of RNA is good."

"I am very satisfied with Zymo's Quick RNA isolation kit: the protocol is easy, quick and above all, provided good RNA quality and yield from cells isolated by FACS after tissue dissociation. This is the first kit (and cheapest one!) I tested that enables me to extract sufficient RNA from a small number (5000 cells) of a particularly delicate cell type. I really appreciate that Zymo provides free samples to test the kits before purchasing them. Besides, the customer/technical service is quick to respond and always provided useful details/recommendations for my specific experiment."

"Amazing ease of use and great RNA yield from samples. I've used a variety of RNA extraction kits over the years, and Zymo is the best. We use the Microprep specifically for samples for sequencing due to the high RNA concentration that results."

"The RNA micro kit is awesome! I cannot recommend it enough for price and quality. My lab has used a variety of kits but this is by far the best product available. The manuals are helpful and clear. The RNA is always great in quality. Most of all, the price is unbeatable compared to all competitors."

"The kit is easy to use with clear instruction. Anyone with college science background will be able to extract the RNA from cells. The technical support generally responds in a few days and troubleshoot the issues right away."

"We only use the Zymo Quick-RNA Microprep for our single-cell extractions of liver tissue. In the past, we had experimented with various other spin-based, magnetic bead-based, and even Trizol extractions, but none could afford us the reproducibility and low elution volume that we desperately needed to recover the highest concentration of HCV RNA from single hepatocytes. In addition to the lower elution volume offered by the micro kit, the cost is substantially less than for other comparable kits. Finally, the best reason that we exclusively use Zymo is for the ability to order individual kit components which allow us to optimize extractions for those incredibly difficult applications."

"The product is very easy to use. The isolation works very well."

"Very simple easy to follow directions, excellent quality, super friendly and efficient sales rep."

"Very easy to use. Discovered for using with our particular sample type, granulosa and cumulus cells that have gDNA contamination in our RNA, even after using the on column DNAse option. Had to do another DNase treatment and RNA purification to eliminate the gDNA. May be particular to our sample type, checked with customer support and we were using the proper amount of lysis buffer. Always be sure to do a check for gDNA before doing reverse transcription."

"I don't recommend this kit for isolation of RNA from low number of cells as the company claims. You will end up with almost no RNA. I contacted the company but they just replied with textbook troubleshooting. It is not that cheap to save some money."

"High quality RNA for a decent price and reproducible results."

"Recently I changed almost every one of my kits from Q company to ZYMO research. One of the kits is Quick-RNA MicroPrep. This kit is easy to use and efficiency is also as good as previous kit from Q company or better. Never miss this product for you experiments with cheaper price and high quality results."
