PreAnalytiX: RNA / miRNA

Blood RNA/miRNA Products

Preanalytical steps can cause variability in RNA quality and yield, which can render results from different labs and between different operators incomparable.

The PAXgene^® Blood RNA System* provides standardized methods from collection to purification.

Learn more about RNA by visiting our RNA knowledge page.

The PAXgene Blood miRNA System consists of the PAXgene Blood RNA Tube and PAXgene Blood miRNA Kit. The system is optimized to streamline the purification of total intracellular RNA, including small RNA species. By minimizing the unpredictability associated with RNA processing, the system provides enhanced accuracy in the analysis of total intracellular RNA (microRNA or miRNA, mRNA and other RNA species).
