I am hoping to extract from single DRGs, but I might not have enough RNA to run the large-scale RT I want to. Does anybody out there have hands-on experience with this? Please and thank you.
My usual RNA yield from a single L4 or L5 rat DRG is: 65-85ng/µL in 40µL volume, with A260/A280 ~1.85 and A260/A230 ~1.2
I'm struggling to improve the yield in total RNA concentration and quality (particularly A260/A230) at the moment, as we are hoping to prep these for NGS assay.
