I would like to collect mouse blood to extract miRNA (50-100uL). I heard that heparin capillaries are not good because of interaction with PCR. I am therefore searching for EDTA or citrate coated tubes, but I can't find any.
Thanks. They seem great! Which one would you recommend citrate or EDTA?
BD microtainer K2E tubes, ref 365975 - EDTA coated
Usually the most prefered solution to collect plasma for RNA or DNA issues is EDTA
If the detection range is in ng/ml but the reference range is in ug/ml for a molecule or protein in serum or plasma .how to dilute and what is the initial volume to be taken for quantitative analysis
