Optimized Biobanking Procedures for Preservation of RNA in Tissue: Comparison of Snap-Freezing and RNAlater-Fixation Methods.

Conclusion: Our data suggest that RNA in pelvic mass samples is relatively stable. Knowledge about RNA stability is an important prerequisite for research in RNA biomarkers, where the challenge is to balance the need for careful RNA handling and storage with the need for effective large-scale biobanking in a busy clinical setting where patient treatment is the main priority.
