Skin is very fibrous and elastic, and efficient RNA extraction from this tissue can be very difficult. It is therefore crucial to use a homogenizer that can ensure high RNA yields without overheating the samples.
The Precellys® 24 Touch tissue homogenizer was able to efficiently homogenize finely cut dog skin without heating the samples. As well as to purify higher concentrations and better quality of RNA.
In this application note, learn how researchers used the Precellys® 24 Touch to extract high-quality RNA from frozen dog skin biopsies.
