Evidence Based Guidelines for the Pre-analytical Phase of RNA Testing in Blood SamplesWednesday, 14 May 2014 at 14:15  Add to Calendar ▼2014-05-14 14:15:002014-05-14 15:15:00Europe/LondonEvidence Based Guidelines for the Pre-analytical Phase of RNA Testing in Blood SamplesAdvances in qPCR and dPCR in Barcelona, SpainBarcelona, SpainSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comWithin the EC funded project SPIDIA (www.spidia.eu), pan-European external quality assessment (EQA) programmes were implemented for blood RNA based tests. The results demonstrated that the use of blood collection tubes containing cellular RNA stabilizers allows a reliable gene expression analysis whereas RNA measurements deriving from EDTA blood collection tubes showed an ex-vivo gene-dependent induction even 24h after blood collection. The results of the SPIDIA RNA EQAs studies have been used for the development of a Technical Specification by the European Committee for standardization (CEN). |
