Can I use AquaStool to extract DNA and RNA from other biospecimens?
Yes, for extraction from cultured cells, you simply add AquaStool solution to the cell pellet or the culture dish after removing the culture medium and vortex the resulting cell lysate to extract DNA/RNA. For animal or plant tissues, you could homogenize the tissue in AquaStool solution to extract DNA/RNA. Not sonication is needed.
