Expression stability of FOS and IL1B marker transcripts

Excellent expression stability of FOS and IL1B in DRD Blood collection tubes

FOS and IL1B are well-known transcripts in human blood that quickly change their abundance upon stress or perturbation. This figure demonstrates that their expression levels remain stable in DRD Blood collection tubes for up to 30 days at 4 °C and 3 days at 25 °C. This is an exceptional RNA stability result, considering raw data with 5 levels of potential variability, i.e. donor (n=3), DRD Blood production lot number (n=3), RNA extraction (n=1), RT-qPCR (n=2), and experiment (n=2). Each box plot represents 18 independent data points. The median delta-Cq is 0.33, the 95% delta-Cq is 1.08 (comparing a later time point with time point 0).

Freeze-thaw stability of RNA in blood
