Table 4. RNA yield for the combinations of storage in EML and RPL and RNA extraction with EM and RP RNA extraction kits.
PMBC storage medium | RNA extraction kit | Yield (ng) |
---|---|---|
RPL | RP | 2257.6 ± 87.2a |
EML | RP | 2004.3 ± 102.3a |
EML | EM | 895.2 ± 163.8b |
RPL | EM | 283.8 ±27.3c |
Results are means and standards deviation from three independent extractions, in ng. Statistically significant differences among groups are marked with a, b and c (p < 0.05) (t test for paired samples).
