General Recommendations When Working with RNA
When working with RNA samples, make sure to consider following
recommendations:
• Always follow the GLP-rules established in the laboratory
• Wear gloves all the times to prevent contamination with RNases
• Thaw RNA samples and ladder on ice and keep them on ice during sample
preparation
• Ensure all working areas and plastic ware are RNase free

resulting in missing peak identification in the Gel View (Left) and
Electropherogram View (Right) of the TapeStation Analysis software.
Not following these general guidelines might result in RNA degradation and false data.
