No, unfortunately, small RNAs will be lost using this purification method due to the low molecular weight cutoff from the column (approximately 200 bp).
I am doing blood work and using the Tempus collection tubes. Is the Tempus system compatible with the RiboPure-Blood RNA Purification Kit?
No, please follow the RNA isolation methods described with the Tempus system. The collection tubes are not compatible with the RiboPure kit.
What is the recommended storage temperature and stability of samples in the Tempus Blood RNA Tube?
Our general recommendations are that once blood has been collected in the Tempus Blood RNA Tubes, you can store the tube at room temperature for up to 5 days or at 4 degrees C for up to 7 days. For long term storage, the tube can be frozen at -80 degrees C for at least 1.5 years.
