RNA Stabilizing Solution (100 ml)

Description
In order to isolate high quality RNA for important downstream applications, RNA Stabilizing Solution prevents RNA from degradation during fresh tissue sample collection and homogenization. It preserves RNA integrity in harvested samples and facilitates parallel processing of multiple samples later on.
Besides stabilizing RNA, RNA Stabilizing Solution also enables preserving the integrity of DNA and denatured protein in corresponding samples.

Protocol
Simply add 10x volume of RNA Stabilizing Solution into the tube containing the freshly collected sample (e.g. 1 ml RNA Stabilizing Solution to 100 mg tissue).The mixed sample can be stored up to one week at room temperature, four weeks at 4°C, or remove all solution and transfer the tube to -20°C for longer storage until RNA purification. When processing, thaw and homogenize sample in RNA Stabilizing Solution.

Recommended Storage Condition: Room temperature
