Why Ribology

Built to Solve Real Lab Frustrations

Built for research labs, core facilities, and clinical teams that can't afford delays.

✕The Challenge with Traditional Imports

The Ribology Solution✓

Inconsistent Yields

Batch variation and long chain shipping degrades quality, delaying critical research timelines.

Purity Guaranteed

Optimised salt concentrations ensure A260/A280 ~ 1.8 - 2.2, every run, every batch.

High Costs

Inflated pricing from import duties, freight markups, and currency shifts drain lab budgets.

Up to 40% cheaper than leading competitors

No import duties, no freight markups and no foreign exchange surcharges.

Slow Shipping

7–14 day international wait times stall experiments and disrupt research momentum.

Next-Day Delivery

Ships from our Sydney facility within 24 hours. On your bench tomorrow, not next week.

Limited Support

Why Researchers Are Making the Switch

From university core facilities to clinical research institutes. Here's what our partners say.

We switched from a major import brand and haven't looked back. Comparable purity, faster delivery, and when we had a protocol question our rep called back within the hour.

Dr. Sarah C.

Senior Research Fellow

Our RNA-seq library quality scores are identical to what we were getting with imports at roughly 35% lower per-prep cost. The budget savings let us run two extra experimental replicates.

Dr. James O.

Genomics Core Manager

We've tested countless RNA extraction kits over the years, and Ribology's kit truly stands out. The yield and purity are consistently impressive, even with challenging sample types. What used to take us over an hour now takes less than 30 minutes with fewer errors and better results. Plus, it's reassuring to support a local Australian-made product that's also eco-friendly.

Mia C.

Molecular Researcher

Switching to Ribology was a no-brainer. Our previous kits were not only expensive but frustratingly inconsistent. With Ribology, we've cut extraction time in half and seen a noticeable boost in reproducibility across experiments. The ready-to-use, RNase-free reagents save us time and headaches. It's everything a busy research team needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything researchers ask before making the switch.

Ribology is designed to deliver the same outcome labs expect from leading international kits: high-purity RNA, a familiar spin-column workflow, and reliable downstream performance. The difference is local supply, faster delivery, and lower total cost for Australian labs.

No. The kit uses a standard silica spin-column workflow, so most labs can adopt it immediately with minimal retraining. The streamlined protocol is designed to reduce bench time while staying familiar to teams already running column-based RNA extractions.

The kit is designed to produce high-purity RNA with A260/A280 ratios of at least 2.0 under the recommended workflow. Yield depends on sample type and input amount, with the protocol and product materials describing support for a broad range of common research applications.

Yes. Ribology kits are positioned for high-purity RNA extraction suitable for sensitive downstream workflows including RT-qPCR and sequencing-based applications. For labs validating a new workflow, we recommend testing the evaluation kit on your own sample types first.

The protocol supports common mammalian sample inputs including cultured cells and tissue. Your current protocol guidance references use with up to approximately 1 × 10⁷ cells or up to 30 mg tissue, with homogenisation recommended where required for efficient lysis.

The workflow is designed to be completed in under 30 minutes. It follows a simple bind-wash-elute structure that helps reduce handling time and makes routine extractions easier to standardise across staff and experiments.

Each kit includes optimised volumes of RiboLyse, RiboWash I, RiboWash II, and RiboElute, along with matched RiboSpin columns and collection tubes. Components are scaled to your selected prep size so you can choose a format that fits your workflow.

DNase I enzyme is not included in the kit. Our proprietary buffers are designed to effectively eliminate genomic DNA carryover. However, DNase I from third-party suppliers can be easily incorporated into the workflow. Please contact our technical support team for guidance on integration into your protocol.

Yes. We offer evaluation kits for qualifying labs so you can test performance in your own workflow before committing to a larger purchase. It is the easiest way to compare purity, yield, and handling directly against your current kit.

Orders ship from Sydney, helping Australian labs avoid the long delays and uncertainty that often come with imported kits. For many customers, that means dramatically faster turnaround than waiting on international supply chains.

You'll be supported by a local Australian team that understands the product, the workflow, and the needs of research labs operating in your time zone. That means faster answers, practical troubleshooting, and less downtime when you need help.

Yes. Ribology can support institutional purchasing workflows, including purchase orders for eligible organisations. This is especially useful for universities, research institutes, hospitals, and core facilities that do not purchase by credit card. Apply for a trade account here.

Evaluation Kit

Evaluate Before You Commit

You may be eligible for a complimentary evaluation 10 Prep kit so you can test performance directly in your own workflow.

In return, we ask for a quick summary of your results. This helps us continuously refine the kit and ensures we're delivering consistent performance across real laboratory conditions.

Your feedback typically takes less than 2 minutes and contributes to improving RNA extraction reliability for labs across Australia.
