Protocol tips

Upstream tips
- To allow complete penetration by formalin, use tissue samples less than 5 mm thick
Protocol tips
- Perform all centrifugation steps using a microcentrifuge placed at 15–25°C
Downstream tips
- Do not exceed fixation time of 24 hours as it results in poor performance in downstream assay

Publication protocol

In a first step, seven RNA extraction kits (Table 1) were tested on rat renal tissue. 12 samples were analyzed for each kit: Four samples with one rat whole kidney section, four samples with two whole kidney sections and four samples with 80–101 LCM glomerular cross-sections. All sections had a thickness of 5 lm. Later, the four kits, which yielded the highest amount of RNA extracted from rat whole kidney sections were used to extract RNA from human renal tissue: Six samples were analyzed for each kit: Four samples with two human kidney biopsy sections and two samples with 80–160 LCM glomerular cross-sections. Human samples had a thickness of 10 lm. Each of the seven different kits was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions under RNAse-free conditions. The volume of eluate was set to 25 lL in the case of the rat tissues and 15 lL in the case of the human tissue

RNA isolation from tissue

How do I extract RNA from animal tissue without using liquid nitrogen? I tried the RNA extraction by using the TRIzol reagent and I homogenize the tissue using polytron homogenizer at room temperature for 30secs is this correct?

Problem in phase separation after using serum/plasma kit

I used a serum/plasma kit for my serum samples. After the phase separation the samples should have 3 phases: a colourless aqueous phase, a white interphase and a red organic phase. However, in some of my samples there was no aqueous phase unless I wait for an extended period of time. How can I circumvent this problem?
