What RNA yields are expected with the PAXgene Bone Marrow RNA System?

Bone marrow samples are extremely heterogeneous, consisting of varying amounts of cells, tissue, and solid matter. RNA yields are highly donor-dependent and can vary greatly from sample to sample as well as between replicates from the same donor due to sample-intrinsic heterogeneity.

In a study of 295 bone marrow samples, yields of RNA isolated from 2 mL human bone marrow were between 2.0 and 44.7 µg (5-95% quantiles, mean = 15.8 µg, median = 11.0 µg).
