Procedure

rna isolation

• Add tissue to 400 microliters lysis solution with bME added just prior to use. If collecting several samples hold tubes on ice. These can be stored for years at -80°C.

• Add 1 microliter glycogen, 30 microliters 3M NaOAc 5.2 and 500 microliters water saturated phenol. Mix by gentle inversion and add 100 microliters chloroform.

• Mix by inversion and hold on ice for 15 minutes.
