I have cell suspension which I need to store in RNA later. How much volume of RNA later should I use? And at what temperature and duration can I store the cell suspension in RNA later?
• Most samples in RNAlater Solution can be stored at room temperature for 1 week without compromising RNA quality, or at –20°C or –80°C indefinitely.
• Do not freeze samples in RNAlater Solution immediately; store at 4°C overnight (to allow the solution to thoroughly penetrate the tissue), remove supernatant, then move to –20°C or –80°C for long-term storage.
