Sample Collection & StabilizationDNA5RNA19Tissue/FFPE5RNAprotect Tissue TubesPrint For collection, RNA stabilization, transport, and storage of tissuesImmediate RNA stabilization and protection, due to RNase inactivationReliable gene expression and gene-profiling dataConvenient and safe handling at room temperature instead of freezing a sampleTissue archiving without risk of RNA degradationEasy collection and storage in reclosable tubesNo need for liquid nitrogen or dry ice, ideal for sample collection in the fieldRNAprotect Tissue Tubes are screw-top tubes that contain RNAprotect Tissue Reagent, which immediately stabilizes RNA in tissue samples to preserve the gene expression profile. The RNAprotect reagent is a storage solution that permeates harvested tissues rapidly. Stabilization takes place a room temperature, eliminating the need for dry ice or liquid nitrogen.The following kits are compatible with the RNAprotect Tissue Reagent: RNeasy Plus Kits, RNeasy Kits, miRNeasy Kits, and AllPrep Kits.Buy ProductsProduct DetailsProduct ResourcesBuy ProductsCat No./ID:76154RNAprotect Tissue Tubes (50 x 1.5 ml)$289.00Order ProductFor stabilization of RNA in 50 x 150 mg tissue samples: 50 screw-top tubes containing 1.5 ml RNAprotect TissueReagent eachCat No./ID:76163RNAprotect Tissue Tubes (20 x 5 ml)$298.00Order ProductFor stabilization of RNA in 20 x 500 mg tissue samples: 20 screw-top tubes containing 5 ml RNAprotect Tissue Reagent eachRNAprotect Tissue Tubes are intended for molecular biology applications. These products are not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.QIAGEN’s former RNA Stabilization Reagent, was manufactured and offered under license from Ambion, Inc., the owner of the RNAlater® trade mark. Following the expiration of that license and corresponding patents, QIAGEN’s new product name for the identical formulation is RNAprotect TissueTubes.Product Details PerformanceRNAprotect Tissue Reagent stabilizes and protects the RNA expression pattern of samples during harvest and storage. Immediate protection with RNAprotect technology ensures that downstream analyses truly reflect the expression profile of the intact tissues. Samples can be archived without risk of RNA degradation, even after multiple freeze–thaw cycles. RNeasy purified RNA from RNAprotect stabilized samples stored under a wide variety of conditions is ideal for downstream processes such as northern blotting and RT-PCR.PrincipleOnce a biological sample is harvested, its RNA becomes extremely unstable. The innovative, aqueous RNAprotect Tissue Reagent quickly permeates tissues resulting in immediate stabilization of the RNA and preservation of the RNA expression pattern. Gene induction or down-regulation triggered by sample manipulation is also prevented, allowing accurate analysis of gene expression.ProcedureFor RNA protection and sample storage, tissue samples are submerged in an appropriate volume of RNAprotect Tissue Reagent immediately after harvesting. RNAprotect TissueTubes provide premeasured volumes of RNAprotect Tissue Reagent in reclosable tubes for convenient handling and sample storage. The reagent preserves RNA for up to 1 day at 37°C, 7 days at 18–25°C, or 4 weeks at 2–8°C, allowing processing, transportation, storage, and shipping of samples without liquid nitrogen or dry ice. Alternatively, the samples can also be placed at –20°C or –80°C for archival storage.ApplicationsAnimal and human tissues stabilized in RNAprotect Tissue Reagent can be efficiently disrupted using QIAGEN instruments for sample disruption, and used with QIAGEN kits for:Total RNA purificationmiRNA purificationmRNA purificationProduct ResourcesYou are not authorized to download the resourceBrochures & Guides (3) Sort optionsSort alphabetically All insights start with the sample: Your comprehensive guide for isolating top-quality RNAShow details(EN) - Stabilization Solutions for Reliable Gene Expression AnalysisShow details(EN) - Analyzing Gene Expression and RegulationShow detailsShow allShow lessFAQs (7) Sort optionsSort alphabetically Can RNAprotect Tissue Reagent be used to store previously isolated RNA?FAQ ID -337ViewHow long can I store tissues preserved in RNAprotect Tissue Reagent?FAQ ID-3750ViewDo you have a kit for RNA isolation from any kind of sample type?FAQ ID -627ViewWhat is the recommended incubation time to stabilize tissue RNA in RNAprotect Tissue Reagent?FAQ ID -647ViewCan RNAprotect Tissue Reagent be used to stabilize tissue which has already been flash-frozen?FAQ ID -757ViewWhy are some of my RNAprotect-stabilized samples frozen at 0ºC while others are not?FAQ ID -758ViewCan I stabilize adipose tissue using RNAprotect Tissue Reagent prior to RNA isolation?FAQ ID -856ViewShow allShow lessKit Handbooks (1) Sort optionsSort alphabetically RNAprotect Handbook - (EN)RNAprotect Tissue Tubes - For collection of harvested animal tissues with immediate stabilization of the gene expression profile, and subsequent transport and storage; RNAprotect Tissue Reagent - For immediate stabilization of the gene expression profile in harvested animal tissuesShow detailsShow allShow lessSupplementary Protocols (2) Sort optionsSort alphabetically Purification of total RNA from tissues using the RNeasy® Plus 96 Kit and vacuum/spin technology - (EN)Show detailsPurification of total RNA from tissues using the RNeasy® Plus 96 Kit and spin technology - (EN)Show detailsShow allShow lessQuick-Start Protocols (1) Sort optionsSort alphabetically RNAprotect Tissue Reagent, RNAprotect Tissue Tubes, and RNeasy Protect Kits (EN)Show detailsShow allShow lessUser-Developed Protocols (1) Sort optionsSort alphabetically Preparation of RNAprotect preserved tissues for histological studies - (EN)Show detailsShow allShow lessSafety Data Sheets (3) Sort optionsSort alphabetically MSDS RNAprotect Tissue Tubes (50 x 1.5 ml)MSDS RNAprotect Tissue Tubes (20 x 5 ml)CofAShow allShow lessfragment fix placeholderCustomers who bought these products also boughtCat No./ID:1117316DTT (1 ml)1M DTT, forensic grade quality; for sperm cell lysis.$90.00Add To CartCat No./ID:764114PAXgene Bone Marrow RNA Tubes (50)50 Bone Marrow Collection Tubes.
