  • Shipping RNA samples with RNAstable for RNA sequencing

    I want to send several RNA samples to China for sequence the transcriptome using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 technology.
    However, the dry ice shipping costs are too high. To solve this problem, we find a new way to transport RNA that doesn’t need dry ice (the transportation could be done at room temperatures), using RNAstable technology from Biomatrica company.
    Still, I’m afraid that RNAstable matrix could impair the Illumina RNA sequencing technology.

    Therefore, I’d like to ask if anyone knows if RNAstable matrix will allow the transcriptome sequencing using Illumina technology without any problem.

    Thank you for your time

    Best regards

    In case you want to avoid all this process of sending dry-ice to China, I can propose you another sequencing services providers that are not that cheap, but at least you are sure your samples will arrive properly. Contact me if you want more information.

      Good News

      Dear all

      We’ve been using RNAstable to ship RNA samples from Portugal to China for RNA-Seq by Illumina technology, and everything was fine (shipment, library construction and sequencing process). We’ve done it twice.
      Now we are arranging the things to ship RNA for Solid sequencing in RNAstable to the heart of Amazonic forest (INPA, Manaus, Brazil).
      As someone told me some time ago, RNA shipment in dry ice is something to forget.

      Best regards

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
