S.No. Category Description References
1. Sample Types Blood samples:
EDTA, heparin, or citrate tubes.
[37]
2. Tube Recommendations RNase-free tubes and collection devices are essential.
Tubes designed for plasma or serum collection are recommended.
[38,39]
3. Isolation Methodologies Column-based Kits:
miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), NucleoSpin miRNA Kit (Macherey-Nagel).
[44]
Magnetic Bead-based Kits:
Exosome Plus™ MicroRNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
[45]
Phenol-Chloroform Extraction:
The traditional method requires careful handling. (Invitrogen TM TRIzolTM Reagent and QIAzol Lysis Reagent).
