Application

Phenol − chloroform − isoamyl alcohol mixture has been used in nucleic acid extraction in bile duct tissue[1], Drosophila[2], chromatin and RNA immunoprecipitation in Caenorhabditis elegans[3] and mitochondrial DNA.[4]Further, also in the extraction of DNA for the generation of DNA minisatellite fingerprints[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

When nucleic acids are extracted with the Phenol-Chloroform-Isoamyl alcohol mixture solution, a clear component separation is achieved. The proteins present in the sample are denatured and removed (collected in the organic phase or in the interphase), while nucleic acids remain in the aqueous phase. The chloroform denatures proteins and facilitates the separation of the aqueous and organic phases, and the isoamyl alcohol reduces foaming during extraction.

Features and Benefits

  • Versatile and adaptable for a wide variety of laboratory and research applications
  • Free from DNase, RNase, NICKase and protease

General description

Phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol mixture (PCI-mixture) is a widely utilized mixture in molecular biology and biochemical research, specifically designed for nucleic acid purification, including DNA and RNA. With its essential composition of 25% phenol, 24% chloroform, and 1% isoamyl alcohol, PCI-mixture plays a pivotal role in separating proteins from nucleic acids during the purification process. Phenol denatures proteins, chloroform creates a distinct layer to trap them, and isoamyl alcohol facilitates the clear separation of these layers, enabling the isolation of purified DNA or RNA in the aqueous phase.
The applications of PCI-mixture are diverse, encompassing RNA isolation, where it efficiently extracts RNA from animal and plant tissues for downstream analyses like reverse transcription and gene expression studies. Further, PCI-mixture also proves instrumental in DNA extraction, enabling efficient recovery for various applications such as DNA minisatellite fingerprinting for genetic identification. As a general purification technique, PCI-mixture ensures high-quality preparations of both DNA and RNA for further research.

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  4. Dans la description, il est dit que le produit est "composé de 25 % de phénol, 24 % de chloroforme et 1 % d'alcool isoamylique". Les 50% restant, qu'est-ce que c'est ou est-ce une erreur ?

    1 answer

    1. As reported in the 'Physical Form' section, under 'DESCRIPTION', the remainder of this material is 100 mM TRIS, pH 8.0, containing approximately 0.1% 8-hydroxyquinoline.

      Helpful?

  5. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  6. Is there an overlay layer of aqueous TE buffer in the bottles?

    1 answer

    1. The product is saturated with TRIS-buffer. At the time of filling the product consists of a single phase. It is possible that an aqueous phase will be liberated, particularly at lower temperatures. Should phase separation occur, the upper will be the aqueous Tris.
