Hello! Has anyone experience in storing field collected insects (mosquitoes in tropical climates) for insect and included parasites RNA/DNA extraction (using TRIzol/TRIreagent method) and qPCR analysis? No cold chain involved and as cheap as possible. Reviewing the literature I thought about comparing the effect of RNAlater, RNAfix (homemade RNAlater), methylated ethanol or FTA cards. I was wondering whether there are other methods that more cost-effective as possible? Many thanks!
