I wish to isolate total RNA (Trizol method) from a single mouse inguinal lymph node weighing ~10mg.

After trying thorough physical homogenization with a glass mortar and pestle, I noticed that clumps of tissue still remained. Subsequently, total RNA yield and purity were low.

Does anyone know of a better/more efficient method for homogenization?
