Hi,
I am currently looking for a reliable method to extract miRNA from cell and serum samples.
I have read some papers stating TRIzol is suitable for both samples, but the result highly depends on the user's skills, and using a column-based method is more reliable and consistent.
I also saw some pretty positive reviews on Qiagen miRNeasy serum/plasma kit, and miRNeasy kit for tissue/cells.
I also want to know if the advanced version is better in terms of extraction efficiency, RNA quality, and RNA quantity.
P.S. I am new to RNA extraction, and not an experienced user.
Hoping for some suggestions from you guys.
Many thanks
