Figure 3

Long-term storage effects on RNA integrity. RIN values for RNA samples isolated from Tempus tubes stored at –80°C until analyzed by Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. RIN values for adult blood samples (n = 15 Tempus tubes/year) and RIN values for cord blood samples (n = 6 Tempus tubes/year). Bars represent means ± SE. The average RIN values for adult and cord blood samples were 7.6 ± 0.5 and 7.7 ± 0.7, respectively, and no significant long-term storage related effects on RNA integrity were observed.
