Hello,
I need to collect blood plasma from animals for RNA extraction, and I want to add Qiazol and freeze quickly in dry ice to preserve the RNA. The problem is that in the procedure room where I collect the plasma there is no fume hood.
What if I prepare the Qiazol tubes beforehand in the fume hood and open them in the procedure room without hood and then add the plasma, considering that the exposure to Qiazol is very brief (a few seconds)? Are there any formal safety instructions somewhere that allow this (of Qiagen company or any other authorized body?)
Thanks
