Isolation and Purification of RNA Services

RNA is extracted by our expert scientists from tissues cells, blood, plant material and other biological samples. Simply provide Zyagen with your samples and we do the rest. We can also provide samples if available in our inventory. The extracted RNA is exceptionally of high quality even of challenging samples and is ready to use in downstream expression analysis, PCR assays RNA sequencing and many other applications. The purified RNA is subjected to rigorous quality control, in which samples are quantified and purity is estimated. Services include:

  • Dissecting/harvesting fresh tissues under RNase-free conditions.
  • Isolation of total RNA using classical Guanidinium thiocyanate phenol chloroform methods.
  • Treatment of RNA with RNase-free DNase to remove residual DNA.
  • Testing the purity and integrity of RNA by denatured gel electrophoresis and RT-PCR

Protein Extraction Services

Zyagen skilled team has two decades of experience in protein expression analysis. They can help you in making high quality protein from biological samples provided by you or by Zyagen. Protein is extracted in a developed lysis buffer and subjected to rigorous quality control tests. The extracted protein is ready for immediate use in many proteomic applications including reporter assays (e.g., luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase), protein kinase assays (e.g., PKA, PKC, tyrosine kinase), immunoassays (e.g., Western blots, ELISAs, RIAs) and/or protein purification procedures, immunoprecipitation, SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing gels and SDS-capillary electrophoresis, enzymatic activity analysis, gel shifting assay, and protein-protein interaction. Service include:

  • Extraction and purification of protein from tissues provided by the customers or Zyagen
  • Extraction and purification of protein from primary cell or cell lines provided by customers
  • Protein is extracted Zyagen lysis buffer or any other lysis buffer suggested by customers
  • To prevent protein degradation, protein lysis buffer is supplemented with a cocktail of 7 protease inhibitors.
  • Quantification of protein using highly specific and sensitive protein assays.
  • Quality of protein is tested by denatured SDS gel electrophoresis
  • Protein is provided in protein lysis buffer or denatured SDS sample buffer at any concentration suggested by customers
  • Protein is shipped on dry ice
