RNA Sequencing: Sending RNA

We recommend using Norgen's RNA purification kits for RNA isolation from all specimen types.

Norgen can accept purified RNA extracted by any commercial method. Please consult one of our scientists for the best approach for RNA extraction for your sample.

> (cell-free samples and exosomes) Required RNA and minimum concentration: 15uL of 50pg/ μL
> (cellular samples and whole blood) - Required RNA volume and minimum concentration: 15uL of 10ng/ μL
