RNA isolation / purification Tissue - Human Subcutaneous

Isolating RNA from tissues and paraffin-embedded tissue samples can be challenging due to cross-linking of biomolecules and fragmented nucleic acids. The best solution is to slice the tissues into smaller pieces and make a homogenate solution (using tissue homogenizer or grinding liquid nitrogen frozen samples) in presence of RNAse inhibitors. The homogenization process should be carried out on dry ice to maintain the integrity of RNA.

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?

- Before using lysis solution, add 500 ul of β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME) to the solution for a final concentration of 1%.	- To perform efficient elution preheat the elution solution at 70C in water bath priorto the elution step. - If there is high genomic DNA contamination, increase DNAse I digestion time and use only the DNAse dilution solution provided in the kit	- For better downstream application add appropriate volume of 95-100% ethanol to the wash solutions before intial use. - If elute volume is >80ul, there is a possibility of ethanol contamination. To reduce this, add 1-3min of centrifugation time after the final wash step.
