Analysis of Circulating MicroRNA: Preanalytical and Analytical Challenges

Clinical Chemistry · 2011 · Vol. 57(6) · pp. 833–840

Abstract

Detailed validation of the preanalytical steps affecting miRNA detection and quantification is critical when considering the use of individual miRNAs as clinical biomarkers. Unless these causes of imprecision are considered and mitigated, only miRNAs that are extremely up- or downregulated will be suitable as clinical biomarkers.
