On-demand Webinar: Remote, Autonomous Molecular Analytical Laboratories
A new approach for the collection and analysis of samples in real-time
Christina Preston, research specialist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), discusses the Environmental Sample Processor (ESP), an ecogenomic sensor that automates sample collection, handling, and analysis in remote field settings. Dr. Preston describes real-time data collection and analysis in aquatic environments; however, the processes can be applied to a wide range of organisms and environmental settings. She provides a solid overview of these processes, including the benefits of RNAGEM to quickly extract and stabilize RNA suitable for downstream sequencing or analysis.
Learn about:
- An enzymatic approach to extracting and stabilizing RNA
- Sample collection, preparation, and analysis under challenging environmental conditions
- Introduction to a field-tested, automated approach for complex laboratory analyses in real-time
This webinar was presented live on Monday, June 29, 2020 by LabRoots and MicroGEM.

RNAGEM
Temperature-driven, single-tube extractions of total RNA from mammalian cells, tissues, insects, bacteria and virus
This powerful, broad-specificity approach is ideal for gene expression from a very small number of cells, such as exosomes or single cells, without the need for harsh chemicals or further purification.
- Ideal for preparing RNA from mammalian cell culture, laser capture microdissection, FACS-prepared cell populations, cells in suspension, adherent cells, cells stored in RNAlaterTM and cell pellets
- Simplified, hands-off workflow provides RT-PCR and RT-qPCR ready RNA in approximately 5 minutes
- Releases both RNA and DNA with excellent recovery across a wide range of cell numbers
- Requires no further purification for accurate RT-PCR and RT-qPCR analysis
- Inhibitor-free means no harsh chemical washes or multiple steps
- RT-PCR and RT-qPCR reagents can be added directly to the lysate for a simple, streamlined protocol in 96 well plates
- Each kit contains RNAGEM, DNase I, BLUE buffer, 10x DNase buffer, and 10x TE
