Whole Blood Total RNA Extraction Kit is a silica column-based purification system designed for total RNA isolation from fresh and -80°C frozen anticoagulated whole blood samples.
The streamlined workflow does not require a separate red blood cell (RBC) lysis or leukocyte separation step. The kit is also compatible with bone marrow samples and is designed to simplify RNA preparation for downstream molecular biology applications, including RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, gene expression analysis, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).
RNA extraction from fresh and -80°C frozen anticoagulated whole blood
Evaluated using whole blood samples stored at -80°C for up to 75 days
No separate RBC lysis or leukocyte separation step
Silica column-based total RNA purification
Compatible with bone marrow samples
Typical extraction time: approximately 20–40 minutes

The kit has been evaluated for total RNA extraction from anticoagulated whole blood samples stored at -80°C for up to 75 days.
This feature may be useful for research laboratories working with archived frozen blood specimens, biobanking samples, and retrospective research collections.
The workflow does not require a separate red blood cell lysis or leukocyte isolation step before RNA purification. This helps simplify sample preparation and reduces the number of preliminary handling procedures.
The kit still requires sample processing and RNA purification according to the product protocol.
In addition to anticoagulated whole blood, the kit is also suitable for bone marrow specimens. Please refer to the product manual for the recommended sample preparation procedure.
Purified total RNA can be used for downstream molecular biology applications, including:
RT-PCR
RT-qPCR
Gene expression analysis
Transcriptomics research
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq)
Suitability for each application depends on the RNA quality, quantity, and specific requirements of the downstream assay.
The typical RNA extraction workflow takes approximately 20–40 minutes, depending on sample type and processing conditions.
The kit was evaluated using anticoagulated whole blood samples stored at -80°C for 75 days to assess its performance in extracting total RNA from frozen blood specimens.
Experimental Conditions:
Sample Type: Anticoagulated whole blood
Storage Temperature: -80°C
Storage Duration: 75 days
RNA Quality Assessment: Agarose gel electrophoresis
Downstream Application Evaluation: RT-qPCR
Experimental Results:
The evaluation demonstrated successful total RNA purification from the frozen whole blood samples, with visible RNA bands on agarose gel electrophoresis and positive RT-qPCR amplification.

Figure Overview:
RNA Integrity Assessment: Agarose gel electrophoresis showing visible 28S and 18S rRNA bands.
Downstream RT-qPCR Evaluation: RT-qPCR amplification curves for β-actin, demonstrating successful amplification using the extracted RNA.
These results support the use of the kit for total RNA extraction from anticoagulated whole blood samples stored at -80°C for up to 75 days under the evaluated conditions.
The kit uses a silica column-based purification method to isolate total RNA from whole blood samples. The workflow eliminates the need for a separate RBC lysis or leukocyte isolation step.

Workflow Overview:
Prepare fresh or -80°C frozen anticoagulated whole blood samples.
Process the sample according to the kit protocol.
Perform RNA purification using the silica column.
Wash the column and elute the purified total RNA.
Use the extracted RNA for downstream applications such as RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, or RNA-Seq.
For detailed sample preparation steps, reagent volumes, and centrifugation conditions, please refer to the product manual.
Different blood RNA extraction products may use different sample preparation and purification procedures. The following table highlights the workflow characteristics of this kit compared with workflows that include separate leukocyte preparation.
