Application


  • Simultaneous quantification of multiple RNA cargos co-loaded into nanoparticle-based delivery systems.: This study highlights the use of a phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol mixture for the extraction and quantification of RNA cargos from nanoparticles, facilitating accurate delivery system analysis (Lokras et al., 2022).

  • Analysis of Circulating microRNAs and Their Post-Transcriptional Modifications in Cancer Serum by On-Line Solid-Phase Extraction-Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry.: This research utilized the phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol mixture to extract microRNAs from serum samples, providing insights into cancer biomarkers (Pero-Gascon et al., 2018).

  • The application of alkaline lysis and pressure cycling technology in the differential extraction of DNA from sperm and epithelial cells recovered from cotton swabs.: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of using phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol for DNA extraction in forensic applications, improving the analysis of mixed samples (Nori and McCord, 2015).

  • The critical role of DNA extraction for detection of mycobacteria in tissues.: This article emphasizes the necessity of phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol extraction in accurately detecting mycobacterial DNA in tissue samples, enhancing diagnostic precision (Radomski et al., 2013).
