Hi there,

I'm trying to perform RNA extraction with adipose tissues frozen in minus 80, which were treated with RNA later before freezing. Problem is there is a lot of tissue, much more than required for a Qiagen RNAeasy kit extraction.

So will re-freezing the tissue samples have an effect on future RNA quality, given they were already treated with RNAlater? Or should RNAlater be reapplied to thawed tissue?

Crushing the remaining tissue with mortar and pestle, placing them in aliquots of lysis buffer, flash freezing with liquid nitrogen and storing in minus 80 is another thing I am considering.
