The total RNA extraction workstation is a highly automated experimental equipment specially used to extract total RNA from cells, tissues and other samples. This kind of workstation usually integrates a variety of functional modules, including sample processing, cell disruption, RNA isolation, purification, quantification and storage steps, which can greatly improve experimental efficiency and the quality of RNA extraction. The biggest difference between the total RNA extraction workstation and the RNA extraction workstation is the different RNA types and extraction targets they target.

1. Working principle

The total RNA extraction workstation is based on the magnetic bead method or other nucleic acid extraction technologies, and completes the RNA extraction process through automated operations. This workstation utilizes high-precision robotic arms and precise control systems to achieve precise sample processing and efficient RNA extraction.

2. Main functional features

1. Automated operation: The total RNA extraction workstation can automatically complete the entire process from sample processing to RNA extraction without manual intervention, greatly improving experimental efficiency and accuracy.

2. High precision: The workstation is equipped with a high-precision robotic arm and control system to ensure the accuracy of every step of the operation, thereby improving the purity and yield of RNA extraction.

3. High-throughput: Some high-end total RNA extraction workstations support high-throughput processing and can process multiple samples at the same time to meet the needs of large-scale experiments.

4. Compatibility: The workstation is usually compatible with multiple sample types (such as cells, tissues, etc.) and different RNA extraction kits, making it easy for users to choose according to their experimental needs.

5. Safety: The workstation adopts a closed design to effectively prevent RNA contamination and degradation. It is also equipped with safety measures such as ultraviolet disinfection to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the experimental environment.

3. Application scenarios

1. The total RNA extraction workstation focuses on extracting total RNA from biological samples, including messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and all other types of non-coding RNA (such as lncRNA, miRNA, etc. ), including the complete RNA population.

2. Widely used in scientific research and clinical experiments in the fields of biology, medicine, agriculture, etc., such as gene expression analysis, gene regulation research, disease diagnosis, etc. It can improve experimental efficiency, reduce human errors, and provide scientific researchers with high-quality RNA samples.

4. Market situation

There are currently many brands and models of total RNA extraction workstations on the market, and prices vary depending on the brand, model, and function. Some well-known biotechnology companies (such as Aurora Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Lingjun Biotechnology Co., Ltd., etc.) have provided a variety of high-performance total RNA extraction workstations, which have been widely welcomed by scientific researchers and clinicians.

The total RNA extraction workstation is an efficient and precise experimental equipment that can greatly improve the quality and efficiency of RNA extraction. With the continuous development of biotechnology and medical research, total RNA extraction workstations will play an important role in more fields.
