mTRAP™ Total Kits isolate large yields of high-quality mRNA from total RNA samples, utilizing Active Motif’s Poly T gripNA™ Probe*, which has a higher affinity and specificity for mRNA than oligo dT. The result is more mRNA per sample, with much less ribosomal RNA and genomic DNA contamination.

The mTRAP Total Kit was created for single-pass enrichment of mRNA from total RNA. Reagents and plasticware are included for 12 mRNA isolations. Each reaction can isolate mRNA from up to 500 µg total RNA and will yield 10-15 µg mRNA.
