Introduction
Free-circulating nucleic acids, such as tumor-specific extracellular nucleic acid fragments and mRNAs in the blood or fetal nucleic acids in maternal blood, are present in serum or plasma usually as short fragments, <1000bp(Nucleic Acid). The HiPure Circulating Nucleic acid Micro Kit enables efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from human plasma, serum, or urine. Samples can be either fresh or frozen (provided that they have not been frozen and thawed more than once). Free-circulating cell-free DNA, RNA or viral nucleic acids are eluted in Nuclease Free Water, ready for use in amplification reactions or storage at -30 to -15°C. Purified nucleic acids are free of proteins, nucleases, and other impurities.
