<h4>Problem</h4>Preservation of biospecimen quality is critical to accurately and reliably assessing genes and proteins. We evaluated the effect of preparation method and storage duration on RNA quality in placenta and decidua.<h4>Method of study</h4>Aliquots of nine placentas and decidua were placed in RNAlater<sup>®</sup> (RL) or flash frozen (FF) within 30 minutes of delivery. RNA was extracted immediately (baseline) and from matched samples stored at -80°C for 1 and 8-10 months. RNA Integrit ...[more]
