How is the RNeasy Microarray Tissue Mini Kit different from the classic RNeasy Mini Kit?

The RNeasy Microarray Tissue Mini Kit has been designed for optimal lysis of all types of tissue for subsequent microarray analysis. Lysis and homogenization are performed using QIAzol Lysis Reagent, a phenol-guanidine–based lysis reagent. The aqueous phase is then directly applied to an RNeasy spin column for further RNA cleanup. The RNeasy Microarray Tissue Mini Kit combines optimal lysis of tissues with silica-membrane technology, resulting in high-quality total RNA.
