Checking RNA integrity with BioAnalyzer at RU

Lars11th February 2020 at 11:58am

Given the dubious sample handling at the genomics core facility at RU, we have looked at alternatives and are now allowed to make use of the BioAnalyzer of the Jarvis lab, all the way at the end on 2 North of the KRB.

PROTOCOL

Preparing the chips is the most work, running is straightforward. See below

  • To save reagents, you can aliquot half the amount of gel given. (32.5ul + .5ul dye; you only need 27 per chip)
