Ambion offers FirstChoice Total RNA from a variety of normal human, mouse and rat tissues and cell lines. The samples are processed using Ambion's RNA isolation reagents to produce highly pure, intact RNA. A stringent DNase treatment is performed to ensure that the RNA is ready for use in any downstream application.

All Total RNAs

miRNA Certified FirstChoice® Total RNAs: Most RNA isolation protocols were developed for long messenger RNA and are not optimized to recover small molecules. Ambion has validated that our isolation procedures efficiently recover small RNA molecules and certify that these FirstChoice Total RNA products contain miRNA.

FirstChoice® Human Total RNA Survey Panel: 10 µg pools of total RNA from 20 different normal, human tissues. Each pool is comprised of RNA from at least 3 tissue donors and includes documentation on each donor in the form of age, sex, race, cause of death, and diagnoses. 

Ambion's FirstChoice Tumor RNA comes from individual human tumors. When available, RNA from the corresponding normal adjacent tissue can be included in a separate tube. Because of the small size of each individual tumor, RNA availability is limited. Please call or search our Tumor RNA database for additional information and product availability.

Ambion strives to assist researchers by providing the highest quality RNA products available and ensuring that all biological samples utilized in preparing this RNA are obtained from ethical sources. All human tissue samples are acquired through accredited organ/tissue procurement organizations that operate with Institutional review Board approval and in accordance with regulations set forth by the United States Department of Health and Human Services including donor consent and protection of privacy.
