Invitrogen™ RNAlater™ Stabilization Solution with Manual, 20 x 5 mL

Invitrogen™ RNAlater™ Stabilization Solution with Manual, 20 x 5 mL

RNAlater RNA Stabilization Solution stabilizes and protects cellular RNA in intact, unfrozen tissue samples, eliminating the need to immediately process tissue samples or to freeze samples in liquid nitrogen for later processing. Tissue pieces can be harvested and submerged in RNAlater RNA Stabilization Solution for storage without jeopardizing the quality or quantity of RNA obtained after subsequent RNA isolation

Features

• Effectiveness—stabilize RNA for 1 day at 37°C, 1 week at 25°C, 1 month at 4°C, or indefinitely at -20°C
• Simplicity—a single reagent that immediately inactivates RNases and stabilizes RNA within tissues or cells
• Convenience—no need to freeze samples in liquid nitrogen or rush samples back to the lab freezer
• Mobility—perfect for tissue collection 'in the field'
• Versatility—compatible with many RNA isolation procedures, including most RNA isolation kits
• Protecting RNA integrity in tissues rich in RNases
• Collecting samples from different time points without having to process the samples from each time point immediately
• Archiving tissues for future microdissection
• Submerging animal cavities or organs to stabilize RNA during lengthy dissection procedures
• Collecting samples at locations (e.g., hospitals, field sites, the space shuttle) where immediate RNA isolation is not possible
• Shipping samples on wet ice or even at room temperature if shipped overnight
