Abstract

The aim of this study was to utilize paramagnetic microparticles in isolation of mRNA using electrochemical detection. In this way mRNA from maize seedlings treated with a Cd(II) salt was isolated. The interaction of paramagnetic particles with synthetic oligo- and polynucleotides of various chain lengths was investigated. The average detection limits were 0.020−0.360 nM and the quantification limits 0.080−1.200 nM.
