The leading magnetic particle is now available pre-complexed and ready-to-use for mRNA isolations. MPG^® Streptavidin, our magnetic porous glass particle with streptavidin covalently coupled to the surface, has always been the ideal choice for mRNA purification. Previously when you purchased one of our MPG® mRNA purification kits or MPG^® Streptavidin by itself, you were responsible for adding the oligo (dT)₂₅ probe.

Ready-to-Use for mRNA Isolations

For your convenience we have introduced MPG^® Streptavidin Complex. The Complex is made up of MPG^® Streptavidin with biotinylated oligo (dT)₂₅ pre-bound to its surface to provide for optimal mRNA yields. The MPG^® Streptavidin Complex will provide yields of up to 7µg of messenger per milligram of particles, depending on your sample.

15 minutes from tissue to messenger

The complex reduces the amount of preparation time and number of manipulations previously required when using MPG® Streptavidin particles for mRNA Isolation. The time savings is approximately 5 minutes, now allowing for mRNA isolations in 15 minutes. The complex also eliminates the need for the buffers specific to the probe attachment step.
