Has anyone used a lower volume of Qiagen's RNAprotect Saliva Reagent than the 1 ml noted in the manufacturer's protocol?

20 July 2023 0 7K Report

We are isolating cells from nasal lavage fluid and saving them for RNA extraction. We recover between 20,000 and 1 million cells and would like to use a lower volume if it will not affect our RNA recovery.
