The RNAlater™ RNA Stabilization Solution by Invitrogen™ offers a reliable and effective way to stabilize RNA in fresh tissue and cells without the need for immediate freezing or processing. This solution is ideal for preserving RNA integrity during sample collection, storage, and transport, making it indispensable for a wide range of RNA analysis applications.
Key Features
- Effective RNA Stabilization:
- Protects RNA integrity by immediately inactivating RNases.
- Stabilizes RNA for 1 day at 37°C, 1 week at 25°C, 1 month at 4°C, or indefinitely at -20°C.
- Simplicity and Convenience:
- Requires no liquid nitrogen or immediate freezing, simplifying tissue handling.
- Suitable for fieldwork or remote sample collection.
- Versatility:
- Compatible with a wide range of RNA isolation procedures and kits, including TRIzol™ and RNeasy.
- Mobility:
- Facilitates sample collection in challenging environments like hospitals, field sites, and even space missions.
- Broad Applicability:
- Tested on mammalian tissues, plants, bacteria (E. coli), amphibians (Xenopus), fish, and insects (Drosophila).
Applications
- RNA Integrity Protection:
- Ideal for tissues rich in RNases, preventing RNA degradation.
- Sample Archiving:
- Suitable for microdissection and long-term storage.
- Field and Remote Sample Collection:
- Enables RNA preservation during long dissection procedures or in remote locations.
- Time Point Collections:
- Allows collection from multiple time points without immediate processing.
- Sample Transport:
- Ship samples on wet ice or at room temperature with no loss of RNA integrity.
Usage Procedure
- Preparation:
- Submerge dissected tissue (less than 0.5 cm in any dimension) in approximately 5 volumes of RNAlater solution.
- Storage:
- Store samples at:
- Room temperature (up to 1 week).
- 4°C (up to 1 month).
- -20°C (indefinitely).
- Store samples at:
- RNA Isolation:
- Remove tissue from RNAlater solution.
- Process as fresh tissue by transferring directly to lysis buffer or homogenizing after thawing.
