Worked great – Will definitely use again
Application Area: RNA extraction from cannabis plants
"I was looking for a kit to extract RNA from plant tissue to be used for virus detection. Plants often have secondary metabolites making nucleic acid extraction of downstream reactions difficult. the kit worked great for my cannabis plants and subsequent qRT-PCR!"

Great RNA quality and concentration
Application Area:Plant gene expression
"High quality RNA with workflow not requiring liquid nitrogen grinding or beta-mercaptoethanol. Kit is compatible with several common modifications such as DNAse treatment and grinding preserves samples in mill."

Always have this kit in my lab.
Application Area:Plant Pathology
"I have been using Zymo's Quick Plant RNA extraction kit for years. I get great consistent results using the RNA for plant virus diagnostics via RT-PCR."

Absolutely great results and a must use product!
Application Area:Gene expression analysis under abiotic stresses
"I have used Quick-RNA Plant Kit for the last 4 years since I started my postdoc at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. The kit is amazing and the isolated RNA after the last step is always in a substantial concentration and can be used for downstream processes like sequencing and other analysis. No modifications in the suggested steps are required. Just follow the steps and you are good to go!"
The Quick-RNA Plant Miniprep Kit provides for rapid isolation of RNA from various plant samples (e.g. leaves, stems, buds, flowers, fruit, seeds etc.). For purification of total RNA including small RNAs (~50 µg), the Quick-RNA Plant Miniprep features a specially formulated RNA Lysis Buffer. The Zymo-Spin IIICG Column allows for high-capacity DNA elimination and the subsequent Zymo-Spin IIC Column efficiently adsorbs total RNA. The RNA is washed and then eluted with DNase/RNase-Free Water. For inhibitor removal, the eluted RNA can be treated by running the sample through the Zymo-Spin III-HRC Spin Filters. The RNA is suitable for use in various subsequent procedures including RT-PCR.
