RNA isolation from small PFA-fixed cell number?

04 November 2016 0 10K Report

I need to isolate RNA from laser-microdissected cells isolated from PFA-fixed tissue. The tissue is not paraffinized, but fixed and embedded in OCT.

I am looking for suggestions for a commercial kit which allows me to isolate RNA, and get rid of the PFA, from 100-200 cells.

Thanks in advance
