RNA Stabilization Solution; It is an aqueous tissue storage reagent that stabilizes and protects cellular RNA in intact, non-frozen tissue samples. RNA Stabilization Solution eliminates the need to immediately process tissue samples for later processing or to freeze samples in liquid nitrogen. Tissue pieces can be stored in the RNA Stabilization Solution to be stored without compromising the quality or amount of RNA obtained after subsequent RNA isolation. RNA Stabilization Solution can be added directly to cell pellets or to cells in the medium. Samples can then be stored frozen or unfrozen.
Simplifies sample collection; Immediately neutralizes RNases, stabilizing RNA in tissue or cells.
More flexibility; there is no need to freeze samples in liquid nitrogen or return samples to the laboratory freezer immediately.
• It eliminates the need to freeze and crush most tissue samples.
• RNA tissue storage is flexible – it is stable for 1 day at 37°C, 1 week at 25°C, 1 month at 4°C, or -20°C.
• Compatible with many RNA isolation procedures.
• Preserving RNA integrity in tissues rich in RNases
• Transfer of animal cavities or organs to RNA Stabilization Solution to stabilize RNA during long and tedious dissections
• Sample collection at different times without having to process the samples immediately
• Archiving tissues for future microdissection
• Collection of samples where direct RNA isolation is not possible (eg hospitals, field sites)
