RNA Sample Collection, Protection, and Isolation Support
Explore the “Getting Started” and “Troubleshooting” sections for solutions to top inquiries and common problems. Browse through the “Guides and Tools” section to access comprehensive product-related support resources.
Getting Started
- What can I use on my cells/tissues to protect
the RNA? - How can I determine if an RNA sample has genomic DNA contamination? What will the A260/A280, A260/A230, and 28S/18S values indicate about an RNA sample and why are these values useful?
- How do I remove DNase from an RNA sample?
- What can I use to protect RNA in my frozen tissue sample?
- Can I go directly from cells to real-time PCR without having to purify RNA?
Troubleshooting
- What are the best ways to improve my RNA isolation?
- I am getting a poor A260/A280 ratio for RNA (<1.65) after extraction with TRIzol® Reagent. What could be the cause of this?
- I’m using your RNAqueous® kit, and the filter is clogging. Do you have any suggestions?
- I’m seeing RNA degradation after RNA extraction using the PureLink® RNA Mini Kit. What happened?
- I’m getting no PCR products or unexpected PCR products after performing a Cells-to-CT™ experiment. What could be the cause of this?
