The RNA purification kit is used to purify and recover RNA molecules transcribed in vitro and total RNA extracted from various materials, which can effectively remove contaminating impurities in RNA samples. The recovery rate of this product can reach 80%, and the OD260/OD280 ratio of the obtained RNA is generally about 2.0, which can be directly used in subsequent sensitive experiments (such as microarray analysis, fluorescence RT-PCR, etc.). With the deepening of transcriptomics, the complexity of RNA types, expression regulation and functions is far beyond our imagination.

Removing ribosomal RNAs that account for more than 80% helps to focus sequencing on less abundant but informative RNAs. At present, the removal of rRNA is mainly through the combined use of probe and RNase H. The processed RNA will be mixed with many digestion products, enzymes and ions, which is not conducive to the subsequent construction of RNA library. Take the Columnar RNA Purification Kit as an example. Trizol is a ready-to-use reagent that can be used to purify total RNA from tissues and cells. This is a single-phase solution of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate that facilitates lysis of tissues and cells, inhibiting RNases to maintain RNA integrity.
How The New Post-Pandemic CDC Recommendations Will Impact Infection Control Strategies
In May 2023, the World Health Organization's Emergency Committee on the COVID-19 Pandemic suggested it was time to shift gears and treat the virus as an endemic disease rather than an acute emergency. By then, many countries had already begun adopting this approach. Governments worldwide are now focusing on managing the long-term health impacts of COVID-19, moving away from emergency protocols and toward more sustainable strategies.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officially ended the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) for COVID-19 on May 11, 2023. Although the virus remains present, significant progress has been made in reducing severe cases and fatalities. With widespread vaccination and previous infections, the population now has a degree of immunity. Additionally, effective treatments are readily available for those who still contract the virus.
Following the conclusion of the PHE, there were notable changes in how the CDC approached infection control. During the PHE, the CDC collected county-level data on COVID-19 transmission and used it to guide healthcare facilities on infection control measures. Once the PHE ended, the CDC stopped receiving this detailed national data, shifting the responsibility for broader infection control practices like mask mandates and testing largely to individual healthcare facilities. This includes nursing homes, which are encouraged to monitor local data sources, such as hospital admission rates, flu-like illness surveillance networks, and broader trends in respiratory virus activity.
This change means healthcare facilities must now take greater initiative in assessing local conditions to decide when to implement enhanced infection control measures. The CDC recommends that these facilities consider implementing stricter controls if community transmission reaches levels where masks are recommended.
One key takeaway from the pandemic is the reinforcement of core infection prevention principles. Standard precautions, including risk assessments and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), remain unchanged across all healthcare settings. However, the pandemic introduced valuable lessons that are now integrated into the CDC’s Core Infection Prevention and Control Practices. For instance, visitors with potential exposure to respiratory infections are now advised to wear masks in healthcare settings. Another lesson learned is the recognition of overlapping outbreaks of different respiratory viruses, such as the 'tripledemic' of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV during the 2022-23 season. The CDC has encouraged healthcare facilities to revisit broader masking policies during the typical respiratory virus season from October to April.
