A new method of total RNA isolation by a single extraction with an acid guanidinium
thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform mixture is described. The method provides a pure
preparation of undegraded RNA in high yield and can be completed within 4 h. It is
particularly useful for processing large numbers of samples and for isolation of RNA from
minute quantities of cells or tissue samples.
