RNeasy Mini Kit

Protocol tips

Upstream tips	Protocol tips	Downstream tips
To ensure reliable and reproducable gene expression, minimal media is recommended, though complex media also work with this kit.	To yield high RNA, give the column an extra wash with both RW1 and RPE buffers (3 total washes with each buffer).	Include DNAse treatment for 15-20min. Ensure EtOH is completely evaporated off of the column prior to elution. Adjust time from 1min to 5 min at 60`C. Use water to elute the RNA that is warmed to ~60`C RNA protect only stabilizes the RNA and lyses the bacteria, for further purification RNeasy mini or midi kits are recommended by the manufacturer.

Publication protocol

RNA extraction was performed using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). Cells were harvested and lysed according to the Appendix C protocol of the RNAprotect Bacteria Reagent Handbook (Second Edition, December 2005). Protocol 7 was used for the purification of either total RNA or DNA from bacterial lysate, either with or without optional on-column DNase digestion. Integrity of RNA preparations were visualized on a 1.2% agarose gel and purity and concentration were assessed by OD260/OD280.
