What sample types can be used with the RNeasy Plus 96 Kit?

The RNeasy Plus 96 Kit provides high-throughput purification of total RNA from cultured cells grown in 96-well plates. There are protocols for small amounts of easy-to-lyse tissues, allowing RNA purification without the use of phenol using spin technology or vacuum/spin technology.  However, for most applications, we recommend the RNeasy 96 Universal Tissue Kit, which uses phenol-based sample lysis to enable RNA purification from all types of tissue.
