Abstract: A method of separating RNA from a sample, comprising providing: a sample comprising RNA, a binding solution comprising an oligoethylene glycol and a salt, and a solid support having a hydrophilic surface. The method further comprises contacting the sample with the binding solution and solid support, under conditions that allow binding of the RNA in the sample to the surface of the solid support, thereby providing a solid support with bound RNA in contact with residual solution; and separating the solid support with bound RNA from the residual solution. During the binding of the RNA to the surface of the solid support, oligoethylene glycol is present at a concentration of at least about 35% v/v and the salt is present at a concentration of between about 1 M and about 2 M. Methods for producing purified RNA are also provided, comprising in vitro transcription to produce an RNA molecule with a first magnetic bead and purification with a second magnetic bead. Also provided are kits and uses.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method of isolating nucleic acid and protein from the same sample with solid supports, wherein nucleic acid and protein components contained in the sample become bound to distinct solid supports. The invention also allows for kits for isolating nucleic acid and protein from the same sample and for use of the method of isolating nucleic acid and protein for the analysis and/or comparison of mRNA and/or protein expression and/or their correlation to genomic information.
