3. Sample Preparation

Use the protocols in this section to prepare RNA from cells, tissue, or blood.

You can use the standard RNA Preparation approach to purify RNA from a range of biological samples. Alternatively, for cells grown or sorted in 96/384-well plates, you can use the DirectCell Protocol to capture mRNA from cells lysed directly in oligo-dT microtiter plates. The DriverMap protocol can then be run directly in these same plates.
