The Validation Bottleneck in Functional Genomics

The current race in targeted protein degradation (PROTACs) and high-throughput CRISPR-Cas9 library screening is defined by one metric: speed to data. However, functional genomics screening hits a brick wall at the validation stage. Traditional column-based RNA purification is a laborious 30 to 60 minute ordeal per batch. When screening hundreds of guide RNAs or novel compounds, this extraction step not only bottlenecks your workflow but introduces severe extraction bias, causing you to miss low-abundance transcriptional shifts.

The Biofargo Direct-from-Lysate Revolution

It is time to eliminate the purification column entirely. The Biofargo Extraction-Free 1-Step 2X RT-PCR Master Mix (SYBR Green Dye) allows researchers to quantify gene expression directly from cultured cells without the need for RNA purification. To maximize efficiency, we have engineered a streamlined 15-minute protocol that seamlessly bridges cell culture and quantitative analysis.

Step 1: Rapid Cell Lysis

Begin by harvesting anywhere from 10 to 100,000 engineered cells directly from your Biofargo T75 Cell Culture Flasks.

• Instant Stabilization: Add the proprietary Biofargo Lysis Buffer to your sample and incubate for just 5 minutes.

• Built-in Treatment: This specialized buffer is uniquely formulated to stabilize RNA and includes a fast DNase treatment to neutralize inhibitors instantly.

Step 2: Thermal Inactivation

Stop the enzymatic activity safely without utilizing harsh chemicals or extra wash steps.

• Heat Treatment: Simply heat the crude lysate at 95 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. This ensures the complete deactivation of nucleases and perfectly prepares the template for downstream processing.

Step 3: Direct Amplification

Move straight to quantitative detection without touching a spin column.

• Single-Tube Reaction: Add the lysate directly to the Extraction-Free 1-Step 2X RT-PCR Master Mix, SYBR Green Dye (#142) . This premixed solution combines reverse transcription and PCR amplification seamlessly in a single tube.

• High-Yield Economy: Supplied in highly economical 2x1 mL packaging, this system supports up to 400 reactions at a 10 μL volume.

Accelerating the Drug Discovery Pipeline

By deploying this extraction-free technology, molecular biology labs can transition from CRISPR transfection to actionable qPCR data in a fraction of the time. With reaction costs as low as 4 dollars, this Biofargo workflow dramatically accelerates your screening pipeline while maintaining results comparable to purified RNA, maximizing both your speed to data and your laboratory budget.
