Isolation of RNA of highest quality and integrity
The NucleoSpin RNA kit from MACHEREY‑NAGEL offers tailored and specialized solutions that will allow you to purify high quality RNA from a variety of sample materials.
In contrast to the RNeasy kit from QIAGEN, our NucleoSpin RNA kit includes rDNase and NucleoSpin filters. So there is no need for additional orders, as customers receive everything needed for a successful, DNA-free RNA purification with the MN kit. And it minimizes the risk of getting stuck mid-process due to lack of consumables.
The purified RNA allows downstream analysis in a variety of applications including enzymatic labeling reactions (e. g. dye incorporation), reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) and RNA-sequencing.

Comparative data MN vs. QIAGEN
Matching quality, optimum value, reliable service
Our comparative study of NucleoSpin RNA and QIAGEN RNeasy demonstrates equivalent performance across key metrics (upper two panels, liver sample). Both kits yield high-quality RNA with comparable RIN values (9.2 vs. 9.6) and total yields (20.1 vs. 18.7 μg). Results of qRT-PCR show similar CT values for various genes across different sample types, indicating consistent RNA purity and integrity (lower two panels). For researchers seeking a costeffective alternative without compromising quality, NucleoSpin RNA offers equivalent performance to the market leader, with the added benefit of included rDNase and personalized support from our product specialists in the field. If you’re a current QIAGEN user, consider trying NucleoSpin RNA for your next RNA purification – you’ll experience comparable results with optimum convenience and customized service.
