Product Description

Formalin-fixed tissue samples are a challenge for nucleic acid extraction, often resulting in low yields of amplifiable DNA/RNA and poor performance in subsequent steps involving enzymatic manipulation, including reverse transcription and sequencing library preparation. Powered by proprietary CAT5™ technology, the CELLDATA DNAstorm™/RNAstorm™ 2.0 Combination Kit enhances the removal of formaldehyde-induced damage and provides dual DNA and RNA extraction with higher yield and quality. This allows for improved amplifiability for applications such as RNA-seq, qPCR, microarray, or other gene expression analysis.

• Extract higher yields of DNA and RNA from a single FFPE tissue sample
• CAT5™ technology for chemical reversal of formaldehyde crosslinking
• Milder conditions and no harsh solvents
• Higher quality DNA/RNA with less fragmentation
• Better results in downstream analysis like PCR, microarray, or next-generation sequencing
• Simple spin column-based workflow

Note: This kit is a replacement for catalog number CD503. It uses a modified deparaffinization protocol with a new Dewaxing Solution (provided in the kit). The new kit retains the same proprietary CAT5™ catalytic technology for highly efficient reversal of formaldehyde crosslinks as the original kit.
