Types of Analyzed Biological Materials
We offer RNA extraction services tailored to a wide range of biological materials, ensuring reliable and high-quality results for your analyses.
FFPE samples (Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded)
-
RNA extraction from FFPE tissues is complex due to cross-linking and degradation. Our optimized protocols maximize the recovery of high-quality, usable RNA.
Blood samples
-
Blood contains RNases that can degrade RNA. Our optimized protocols ensure rapid stabilization and effective inhibition to preserve its integrity.
Microbiome samples
-
Microbial RNA extraction requires lysis methods tailored to the diversity of microorganisms. Our protocols ensure optimal yield and preserved integrity for accurate analyses.
Plant materials
-
Plant RNA extraction is complex due to cell walls and metabolites. Our optimized protocols ensure efficient lysis and high-quality purification for all species.
Soil and Environmental Samples
-
RNA extraction from soil and environmental samples is challenging due to inhibitors and low RNA content. Our optimized methods ensure high-quality RNA for sensitive analyses.
Bone and Cartilage
-
These samples, with dense matrices and low RNA content, complicate extraction. Our specialized dematerialization techniques optimize the recovery of usable RNA.
Spheroids and Organoids
-
Spheroids and organoids, with their dense 3D structure, complicate RNA extraction. Our optimized protocols ensure homogeneous lysis and maximum RNA preservation for accurate analyses.
Tissue and Organ Samples
-
Tissues, such as brain or muscle, vary in RNA yield and stability. Our tailored protocols ensure optimal extraction, preserving integrity and quality for each sample.
Fresh Frozen and Fixed Tissues
-
Whether frozen or fixed tissues, our protocols minimize degradation and optimize yield, ensuring high-quality RNA for your analyses.
