This product is intended to simply maintain the integrity of the DNA and RNA during extraction and does not play a role in the disruption or digestion of the sample. Both, large and small nucleic acid molecules will be recovered. The primary factor in determining the size of the recovered nucleic acid fragments will be the method utilized to disrupt the cells or tissues.

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 [1][2][3][4]
- for the lysis of monocytes [5]
- to isolate cytoplasmic RNA from SARS-CoV infected Vero cells [6]
- to isolate total RNA from MDMs (monocyte-derived macrophages) infected with influenza A (H5N1) virus [7]
- 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 [8]
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

Using trizol in isolation gDNA from nuclei (from plant). After extracting nuclei, pellet(nuclei) is dissolved in 1.6-6.4mL TE buffer and incubated with SDS and Proteinase K. Next is trizol, what is the ratio of trizol to add to this liquid sample?
1 answer-
As mentioned in the product bulletin, "the volume of the tissue should not exceed 10% of the volume of the TRI Reagent." For a sample volume range of 1.6 ml to 6.4 ml, you would need to add a minimum of 16 ml to 64 ml of Tri Reagent.

Does trizol have SDS in it?
1 answer-
As mentioned in the 'DESCRIPTION' section under 'General Description', TRI reagent® is a mixture of guanidine thiocyanate and phenol in a monophasic solution. This product does not contain SDS.

How long can samples be stored in TRI Reagent at -80°C?
1 answer-
Prior to phase separation, TRI Reagent-treated tissue extracts can be stored at -80 °C for years without demonstrable negative effects on
recovered RNA quality or quantity. Although salt precipitation following freezing has not been observed, the investigator must make sure that any
salts that may precipitate from the solution during the freeze-thaw cycle are resolubilized before using proceeding.See the link below to review the product datasheet, including protocols:

My cells are plated on polystyrene culture plates. How do I use Product T9424, TRI Reagent in this application?
1 answer-
We recommend harvesting the cells in PBS with a rubber policeman/cell scraper, transfer to an eppendorf tube, and proceed with the RNA isolation by removing the PBS from the cell pellet and re-suspending the pellet in the Tri Reagent.

If I add a volume of Product T9424, Tri Reagent™, different from 1 ml, how much chloroform and isopropanol should I add?
1 answer-
What is important is to keep the ratio the same. For example, we recommend adding 200 μL of chloroform and 500 μL of isopropanol when using 1 ml of Tri Reagent. Therefore, 100 μL of chloroform and 250 μL of isopropanol would be added if using 500 μL of Tri Reagent. Similarly, 300 μL of chloroform and 750 μL of isopropanol would be added to if using 1.5 ml of Tri Reagent.
