Figure 1. Length of time between dissection and processing affects RNA integrity.

Figure 1

Electropherogram digital gel via Bioanalyzer shows integrity of RNA isolated from single Achilles tendons that were kept on ice for various lengths of time (0, 3, 6, 9 min) before homogenization. All were homogenized for 360 s. Longer wait times prior to homogenization reduce RNA quality. 18S and 28S are indicated and the green band is a marker.
