Although I moved from academia to industry several years ago, I still have good friends working as post-doctorates who are specifically involved… Read article →
One of the most common causes of degradation or loss of RNA during extraction is the DNase step. DNase digestion is frequently performed on a spin column. Although this can be a great way to save time on post extraction processing, it is not an efficient method for samples with large amounts of DNA (for… Read article →
Recently, we gave a series of webinars covering the different challenges and possible solutions for getting reliable gene expression profiles, with a focus on RNA extraction and stabilization from challenging samples.
