The RNAstorm™ Kit - Powerful RNA extraction from FFPE samples

Formalin-fixed tissue samples are a challenge for RNA extraction, often resulting in low yields of amplifiable RNA and poor performance in subsequent steps involving enzymatic manipulation, including reverse transcription and sequencing library preparation.

Powered by proprietary CAT5™ technology, the RNAstorm™ extraction kit enhances the removal of formaldehyde-induced damage and provides RNA with higher yield and quality, better integrity, and greater amplifiability. This technology was developed by Cell Data Sciences researchers, building on research initiated at Stanford University, and published in Nature Chemistry in 2015.

Whether you are performing RNA-seq, qPCR, microarray or other gene expression analysis, the RNAstorm™ kit is your best chance for success.

The DNAstorm™ Kit - Efficient extraction of high quality DNA from FFPE samples

Powered by proprietary CAT5™ technology, the DNAstorm™ extraction kit enhances the removal of formaldehyde-induced damage and provides DNA with higher yield and quality and greater amplifiability. The DNAstorm™ kit is the best solution for next-generation sequencing and other advanced applications.
