The Maxwell RSC simplyRNA Blood Kit, used with the Maxwell RSC Instrument, provides a simple method for automated RNA purification from whole blood. The low elution volume is used to generate concentrated high-quality RNA suitable for use in downstream applications such as quantitative RT-PCR. The kit provides the necessary reagents for processing the samples and uses prefilled cartridges for purification, maximizing simplicity and convenience. The Maxwell RSC Instrument can process from 1 to 16 samples in under an hour.
