I am going to do mRNA preparation from total RNA.
In doing this, what is the role of poly A (column)?
Anyone of experts in theories could explain it to me?
Please!!

The kit may be called "poly A" but the column actually contains poly-T beads. A (adenine) is complementary to T (thymine).
If you look for the key features of mRNA you will find out why T polymers are used.
Our country has a serious deficiency in lighthouses. I assume the main reason is that we have no sea.
