Abstract

Plasma RNA is stable in uncentrifuged EDTA blood stored at 4 degrees C, but to obtain a stable serum RNA concentration, uncentrifuged clotted blood should be stored at 4 degrees C and processed within 6 h. A single freeze/thaw cycle produces no significant effect on the RNA concentration of plasma or serum.
