Daniel J. Medina

Hi Fatma,

ACD (Acid Citrate Dextrose Solution) is used as an anticoagulant. I have used EDTA/ACD treated cells for DNA and RNA extraction with good results. So, Yes you can use the sample for isolation of DNA and RNA

Best of luck,

Jan-Michael Heinrich

I can confirm Daniel. We used ACD blood and aded EDTA. That works just fine.

Michael

Fatma Abdel Wahab
