High recovery of miRNA without the need for phenol.
miRNA was isolated from 200 µl plasma from 3 different samples using the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Advanced Kit (light blue bars) or the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit (dark blue bars). Five microliters of recovered RNA, in a total volume of 25 µl, was used for cDNA synthesis using the miScript system, followed by PCR detection. Both kits show good recovery of miR16.
