  • Small RNA extractions from plasma

    Hi all who have some experience/knowledge in working with RNA from plasma.

    I just did some extractions and was deterred when I ran the RNA Nano on the bioanalyzer and found no trace of RNA.
    I then ran the samples on the 'small RNA' bioanalyzer chip and this time we were able to pick up some RNA.

    Attached below is one of our 'good' results.

    So, I have a couple of questions:
    Is this trace what one would expect from plasma RNA?
    And, is this sufficient amount of RNA to construct a 'small RNA' library?

    Any kind of help or comments would be appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    blanco

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    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...
