Improved RNA Extraction Method Using the BioMasher and BioMasher Power-Plus.

The article discusses a study which examined a novel BioMasher application for RNA extraction from animal and plant tissues. BioMasher refers to a disposable homogenizer intended for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) diagnosis. Topics discussed include the development of a grinding machine specific for the BioMasher, creation of RNA extraction protocols and the comparison of the RNA extraction efficiency of BioMasher with that of FastPrep and glass homogenizer.
