Introduction: Quality and integrity of RNA are critical for transcription studies in plant molecular biology. In squash fruit and other high water content crops, the grinding of tissue with mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen fails to produce a homogeneous and fine powered sample desirable to ensure a good penetration of the extraction reagent.
(RNA yields from Arabidopsis are typically low; please see Figure 2 for typical plant RNA profiles.) Other plant tissues, like pine needles, need to be ground dry, without liquid nitrogen. Some hard, woody plant materials may require freezing and grinding in liquid nitrogen or milling.
When the liquid nitrogen stops churning it indicates that the tissue is completely frozen. Once frozen, remove the tissue from the liquid nitrogen and store it in an airtight container at –80°C. Very hard or fibrous tissues (e.g., bone and heart), and tissues with a high RNase content must typically be frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground to a
Total RNA yields can be increased significantly by pulverizing samples in a liquid nitrogen freezer mill prior to RNA isolation, especially when samples come from woody tissues. This is primarily due to the presence of oxidizing agents, such as phenolic compounds, and polysaccharides that are both present at high levels in extracts from the ...
Notably, homogenizing subchondral bones in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle yielded RNA with quality comparable to that obtained with the SPEX SamplePrep 6870 Freezer/Mill: an average RIN value of 8.5 ± 0.5 (Fig. 2D, E), and average A 260/280 and A 260/230 ratios of 1.96 ± 0.085 and 2.18 ± 0.17, respectively. Accordingly, a mortar ...

liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until RNA extraction. For the extraction of total RNA from the root samples, we used the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, The Netherlands) alone or in combination with Fruit-mate for RNA Purification (Takara Bio Inc., Japan) and RNAiso Plus (Takara Bio Inc., Japan).
(RNA yields from Arabidopsis are typically low; please see Figure 2 for typical plant RNA profiles.) Other plant tissues, like pine needles, need to be ground dry, without liquid nitrogen. Some hard, woody plant materials may require freezing and grinding in liquid nitrogen or milling.
A cryogenic pulverization method to process murine paws using a liquid nitrogen freezer mill was developed to improve the yield and quality of RNA or protein extracted from the tissues and enable the analysis of molecular profiles associated with inflammatory responses.
Float a weighing boat on the surface of the liquid nitrogen and pour the powdered sample into this. A.4. Transfer the frozen sample into a pre-cooled 2 ml microcentrifuge tube and refreeze this briefly in a liquid nitrogen bath. Optionally, the weighed sample can be stored for few days at -80 °C until further processing.

added. Samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground in a mixer mill (Type MM2000, 220 V, 50 Hz, Retsch and Co., Haam, Germany) in the presence of two steel beeds (5 mm) at thawing. Then 0.3 g glassbeads (Sigma, 0.1 mm) were added and bead-beating was performed three times for 90 s in a mixer mill. Samples were extracted twice with chloroform
RNA extraction in liquid nitrogen, commonly using a mortar and pestle (or specialized steel devices known as tissue pulverizers) is also useful in preventing ribonuclease activity. RNase contamination. The extraction of RNA in molecular biology experiments is greatly complicated by the presence of ubiquitous and hardy RNases that degrade RNA ...

Intra-tube temperature monitoring during bead mill homogenization. 2 mL Omni reinforced tubes containing five 2.8 mm ceramic beads ( # 19-628) were filled with 1 mL H2O and processed at 7 m/s on the Bead Ruptor 24 for increasing time periods. Homogenization was performed with and without the use of the BR-Cryo cooling unit using liquid nitrogen as the cryo source.
We also tried freezing tubes in liquid nitrogen before using the bead mill, but frequently lost samples because of broken tubes. If high throughput is not an issue, we prefer to macerate tissues using a mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction.

The CryoMill is a laboratory ball mill specifically designed for this application. It features an integrated cooling system which continually cools the grinding jar with liquid nitrogen before and during the grinding process. Thus, the sample is embrittled and volatile components are preserved. The liquid nitrogen is continually supplied from ...
Results: Extraction of high-integrity RNA is highly dependent on the methods used. Bead-milling skin collected in RNA-stabilizing solution resulted in extensive RNA degradation. Snap-freezing in liquid nitrogen was required for skin and highly preferable for other tissues.
The Cellcrusher can be cleaned at liquid nitrogen temperatures, saving the time and effort needed to warm, clean and subsequently re-cool an extremely cold metal object. Responding to demand from customers who process a lot of very small (2 mg to 40 mg) frozen samples, we have developed the Cellcrusher-mini.

Grinding in Liquid Nitrogen with Mortar & Pestle. One of the most traditional and common methods for harvesting nucleic acids from plants involves grinding leaves in liquid nitrogen with a mortar and pestle. Either the mortar and pestle can be pre-chilled and the grinding performed dry on frozen leaves, or the leaves can be submersed in liquid ...
The best RNA yield is obtained from tissue that has been diced into small fragments with a scalpel prior to being frozen by submerging in liquid nitrogen. The samples must be homogenized using a bead mill or a mechanical homogenizer (Bustin and Nolan, 2004b).
