Dear fellow malariologists,
What is your favourite RNA extraction kit for (very) low volume of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells?
Has anyone used any of the following kits, particularly with ring-stage parasites?
- NucleoSpin RNA XS
- MirVana (Ambion)
- PicoPure (Thermo)
- miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen)
What was the initial quantity of parasites and how much RNA did you recover?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
Antoine
